Tasting Notes
포트 윌리엄 벤 네비스 산자락의 차가운 공기와 거친 풍경이 1967 빈티지 벤 네비스 40년의 묵직한 캐릭터를 길게 빚어냈다. 잔에는 짙은 적갈색이 비친다. 향에는 셰리 호그스헤드의 영향으로 말린 무화과와 가죽, 오래된 책장의 광택이 깊게 머물고 입에서는 43.4도의 도수가 호두와 흑설탕, 다크 초콜릿을 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 여운에는 매콤한 흙냄새가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
I don’t know who decided to play that trick on us, but this smells just like some well-ripened Armagnac. I’m not making this up, this is almost old Bas-Armagnac, at least for a few minutes, before it becomes fruiter, more on bananas flambéed (with rum, aaargh – did you spot that other Monty Python reference?) and fig liqueur. Also a little strawberry jam, bacon, lovage (or Maggi) and whiffs of bicycle inner tube, what I’d call ‘good sulphur’. Very nice nose
restaurant Palate
crikey, this is Armagnac yet again! Starts very grapy and even a little gritty/roughish, with a rubbery side and quite some herbal teas and bitter chocolate. Goes on with more tobacco and leather-like flavours, liquorice, cherry jam… And Armagnac. Oh!
timer Finish
long and Armagnac-y yet again. I know this was a sherry cask but could it have contained Armagnac just before it was shipped to Bonnie Scotland?
