Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 바닐라와 가벼운 토탄 연기가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 벤로막의 약한 피트 캐릭터가 퍼스트필 부르번 배럴과 결합해 11년 숙성에서 또렷이 깃들어 있고 58.7도 ABV의 강한 무게가 단단하다. 팰럿에서는 꿀과 시리얼, 마른 향신료가 발전하고 우드 영향이 명확하게 드러난다. 피니시는 백후추와 가벼운 훈연이 길게 이어지며 구조감이 분명하다. 벤로막 2010 캐스크 스트렝스의 분석적 정확도가 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a tad hottish but gloriously filled with burning hay and lemon icing at first, then mercurochrome and just iodine. The no-sherry situation seems to make it more coastal than usual and, a contrario, rather less farmy. Less see… With water: the first-fill side of the barrel comes out, with some custard and cakes and a rounder profile on the nose, but the combo would also generate notes of eucalyptus and patchouli, perhaps even a little 'good grass'
restaurant Palate
I would say never a Benromach has been this close to a peated Islay whisky. Clear and loud peat smoke, medicinal notes, lemons, chalk, even kippers and shellfish, all that on a rather fat, oily body. Dried apple chips. With water: super good, tight and fat at the same time, with these notes of sharp green white wine (sauvignon blanc) that we enjoy so much. Less Islay too but it clearly remains 'a peater'. Some herbs, sage? Tarragon? But only wee bits…
timer Finish
rather long, still fat, tight and bright. More saltiness, more seashells, more minerality
