Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
벤 네비스 1975는 노즈부터 근엄하고 절제된 개성을 드러낸다. 레몬 치즈케이크와 구두약, 보리사탕에 카모마일 차와 이끼가 얽히며 옛 시대 벤 네비스 특유의 향이 발전한다. 53.9도의 팰럿은 기름 먹은 천과 금속 광택제, 풋몰트가 강한 개성으로 밀려들며 호불호가 갈릴 구조감을 세운다. 피니시는 빵 반죽과 캠퍼, 풀내로 길게 이어지고, 26년 숙성의 독특한 노쇠함이 또렷하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very different, but not completely so. More austere than the 96, but then again, a rainbow is more austere than that 1996! Anyway, more quietly on lemon cheesecake, shoe polish, barley sugars, young sauternes and usually delicate things like white flowers, chamomile tea, moss and vase water. Much more in the style and era of Ben Nevis when malt enthusiasm wasn't really sure what to do with it or where to put it. A very elegant and enchanting nose though I would say. With water: a little greasier, a little fatter and more towards old olive oil, cooked grains, mashed vegetables and barley sugar
restaurant Palate
ok, here it gets more uncertain. Very 'old strange Irish' with these punchy notes of oily rags, metal polish, green malt and plastic. Indeed, these plastic and concrete aspects are a little too much, there's also a tiny shaving of soap somewhere in the depths. With water: ok, it cleaned up a bit, but it's still rather tough on metal polishes, varnish, concrete, aspirin, vase water and various greener and oilier aspects
timer Finish
quite long, faintly bready, some sour ales, camphor, putty, grass, rapeseed oil, coins. Funny stuff
