Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 고여 있다. 하일랜드 포트 윌리엄의 벤 네비스가 1973년에 증류되어 26년을 견딘 귀한 보틀링이다. 잘 익은 무화과와 가죽, 흙내음이 묵직하게 피어오르고, 벤 네비스 특유의 진하고 거친 개성이 살아 있다. 52도의 도수 위로 다크 초콜릿과 오래된 오크, 향신료가 어우러진다. 묵직하고 흙내 나는 여운이 깊고 길게 남는다.
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 .
