Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 1968년 빈티지의 술이 옅은 황금빛으로 출렁인다. 코를 가져가면 벤로막다운 잘 익은 과일과 꿀, 옅은 흙내가 부드럽게 올라온다. 한 모금 혀 위에 올리면 16년 숙성이 둥글린 맥아 단맛과 가벼운 시트러스, 마른 풀의 풍미가 차례로 깨어난다. 40도의 부드러운 결을 천천히 삼키면 곡물의 고소함과 꿀의 단맛이 입 안을 잔잔히 감싸며 가신다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
we’re very close to the Centenary but in fact, this is cleaner and rounder despite a similar ‘plasticness’. A lot of apple peelings and fresh walnuts, some smoke (garden bonfire), some metal (old aluminium pan), a little butter and dairy cream, cardboard… Interesting but pretty wacky. Benromach IS a malt that really improved after it was taken over
restaurant Palate
there are strange notes (touches of soap this time) but we’re way above the Centenary. Nice bitter chocolate, oranges, green tea, gentian, roots, earth… Its no big spirit but it ain’t weak. No mean feat at 40% and after almost 30 years in glass
timer Finish
not short, more roasted. Some kind of smoky oranges in the aftertaste
