Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 포트 윌리엄의 거대한 산자락과 청량한 공기가 이 1973년 빈티지의 골격을 빚어냈다. 깊은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 향에서 마른 가죽과 흑설탕, 굵게 빻은 후추가 천천히 올라온다. 입에서는 호두와 흑설탕, 진한 토피가 풀바디로 입을 채운다. 52도의 도수가 26년의 시간을 단단히 받쳐주며 여운에는 벤네비스 특유의 묵직한 질감이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
closed like a fortified castle at first nosing, getting then rather close to the ‘5000’. Lots of cardboard, paraffin, motor oil, lamp oil… Not uninteresting. Then we have flowers (lily and again a little lavender, even geranium) and finally the ‘mashy cavalry’ (porridge and the whole caboodle). Quite some ginger tonic as well. Not really sexy, to say the least, but not unpleasant
restaurant Palate
nice and bold attack on apple juice but it gets then again quite soapy and cardboardy, although it’s much more bearable than with the 1967. Heavily sugared porridge with bananas, dried pineapple… Gets then quite spicy: quite some pepper, cinnamon… Vanilla… and a long finish on a little cardboard and quite some fruit eau-de-vie (pears and prunes). Not unpleasant at all but no wonder it’s the cat that was stealing the show at Glenturret at the time. Now, we had some much better ones before… 79 points .
