Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 잘 익은 오렌지와 꿀, 묵은 왁스 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1972년 증류해 32년을 보낸 벤네비스는 특유의 진하고 흙내음 어린 캐릭터가 팰럿에서 말린 과일과 가죽, 다크 토피로 발전하며 52.3%의 도수가 묵직한 무게감을 받친다. 오랜 숙성이 만든 기름진 질감이 강렬한 풍미를 부드럽게 감싼다. 피니시는 길고 따뜻하게 오렌지 껍질과 오크의 쌉쌀함이 남는다. 하이랜드 노숙성 몰트의 풍부한 깊이가 인상적이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Amber
air Nose
Beautifully dry and earthy at first with dried mushrooms and umami paste. Evidently a sherry hogshead as it goes on with notes of figs, plum sauce and a lovely, resinous camphor quality. Little notes of wild strawberry and various fruit syrups and liqueurs. Perhaps some treacle and toffee sponge (again I should know). With water: Softer and wider with an unexpected heathery note, not dissimilar to a heather ale like Fraoch (by Williams Brothers if you want to seek it out). More oriental notes such as chilli ricecrackers in balance with some aged balsamico and more earth
restaurant Palate
Hugely resinous and alive with all kinds of dark and stewed fruits. Beautifully clean and nervous sherry profile with tar, rancio and a wonderfully syrupy, plum sauce flavour towards the back of the palate. Very earthy and full of all kinds of exotic hardwood notes. Becomes more drying and very spicy with notes of black tea and five spice. Also a little mentholated with time, rather like an over-brewed mint tea. Really rather wonderful. With water: Darjeeling tea, more plum sauce (you could dip a whole crispy duck in this stuff) and more leafy and earthy notes. The fruitiness remains constant and well balanced
timer Finish
Long! Beautifully resinous and nervous sherry with a delicate flintiness emerging and more gently drying notes of rancio and even a little natural tar
