Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 벤로막다운 옅은 그을음과 잘 익은 과일, 리필 오크에서 온 바닐라로 시작한다. 25년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 마른 살구와 꿀, 가벼운 흙내를 또렷하게 드러낸다. 팰럿은 토피와 오렌지 껍질, 은은한 훈연으로 발전하며 스페이사이드다운 균형이 단단하다. 43도의 질감이 부드럽고 절제돼 있다. 피니시는 마른 향신료와 옅은 연기로 길게 이어지며 노숙한 깊이가 잔잔하게 정리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a rather powerful, very grainy and malty start with hints of violets and other flowers. Gets then rather mashy and yeasty (porridge), yoghurty before a few fruity notes emerge (apples, hints of pears, green bananas). Something slightly metallic in the background and a faint soapiness but the whole isn’t unpleasant. Strange notes of smoked fish after a while
restaurant Palate
well, things are getting slightly worse now, I’m afraid. The attack is very cardboardy, weirdly orangey (rotting oranges), wrongly medicinal (aspirin)… Gets then quite malty and, again, mashy (stale beer). Well it’s frankly dirty I’d say, and the finish isn’t any better, getting even bitter and oddly salty. What’s sure is that the general level of Signatory’s core range improved dramatically during the last years! 68 points for this one. Benromach ‘Organic’ (43%, OB, 2006) A young whisky matured in new American oak – let’s hope that the later won’t overwhelm its ‘organicness’ ;-) but it’s true that the use of new oak ensures that the end product is 100% organic
