Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 벤 네비스 1967 셰리 호그스헤드 35년이 빚어낸 짙은 건과일과 다크 초콜릿이 가장 먼저 명확하게 드러난다. 60년대 벤 네비스 특유의 깊은 가죽과 마른 담뱃잎, 잘 익은 무화과, 옅은 트로피컬이 뒤따라 발전한다. 팰럿은 52.5도의 묵직한 무게가 입을 채우며 잘 익은 자두와 시나몬, 검은 후추, 마른 견과류가 단단한 구조감을 잡는다. 35년 숙성이 빚어낸 깊이가 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 매우 길고 다크 커피가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
smooth, extremely fresh and clean, very fruity and flowery. Lots of ripe mirabelles, quince, apricot, oranges mixed with nectar, light honey, flowers from the fields, maybe lilac… Very nice, even if not too aromatic in fact. Quite some sweet white wine (like a Vouvray), with also hints of beeswax and herbal teas. Harmless and maybe a little feminine (sorry, girls), but it’s much more than just a curiosity. Wait a minute, it gets more complex after quite some breathing, with the grain and some pastry coming through, roasted nuts, praline… I like it
restaurant Palate
oh, that’s very different now. The attack is on fruit eaux de vie, grappa, grain indeed, calvados, with maybe a little lack of body, even if it’s very far from being ‘thin’. Lots of herbal teas, wax, hints of tar and rubber, caramelized apples. Much grainier on the palate than on the nose. Something slightly rummy… The finish is a little thin but long, if you see what I mean, mostly on candy sugar. Very interesting, in any case. 85 points . Ben Nevis 35 yo 1967/2003 (52.5%, OB for Alambic Classique, cask #2218, 165 bottles)
