Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 잘 익은 열대 과일과 왁스, 오래된 오크가 먼저 두드러진다. 1970년 증류한 벤 네비스를 26년 숙성해 1996년에 담은 보틀링으로, 옛 벤 네비스 특유의 진하고 기름진 캐릭터가 또렷이 드러난다. 입에서는 망고와 토피, 가죽 향이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 52.2도의 도수가 풍부한 풍미와 단단한 구조감을 받친다. 피니시는 과일과 오크 스파이스가 길고 복합적으로 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep coppery gold
air Nose
orange marmalade, shoe polish, old leather, hessian and an almost gelatinously textural impression of camphor and vapour rubs. Thickness is what this whisky impresses upon you - a sense of texture and fatness. Barbour grease, waxes, olive oil, putty and a hint of leaf mulch and damp tobacco. With water: gravel, mineral oils, animal furs, blood orange, bone marrow, metal polish, steel wool - charismatic but quite mad
restaurant Palate
it has this quality that I can only describe as being reminiscent of very old pure pot Irish whiskey. Immensely grassy olive oil notes, metal polish, soot, coins, camphor, lamp oil and lanolin. Toasted wood spices, natural tar and yet more camphor. Unlike almost any other whisky really - although there are similarities with some old Loch Lomond makes perhaps (no, not in a bad way). With water: here it begins to align more with contemporary Ben Nevis styles, there’s more easy waxiness, cooking oils, mineral oils, hessian, pepper and some green fruits. Becomes a little straighter and more easy, but this is still a rather far out malt whisky
timer Finish
long, very peppery, lightly medical, oily, camphory, tarry, mentholated and showing more notes of orange peel and bitter marmalade
