Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 호박빛이 잔에 진하게 어리는 이 벤네비스는 38년의 세월이 빚은 묵직한 원숙함을 지녔다. 1975년 증류된 향에는 밀랍과 잘 익은 오렌지, 묵은 과일 케이크의 향이 천천히 솟아오른다. 53.8도의 도수로 입에 머금으면 꿀과 가죽, 진한 토피의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고, 하이랜드 노숙성 특유의 왁스 같은 결이 혀를 감싼다. 오크와 말린 과일의 여운이 길고 깊게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
probably refill, which is good. This is both more acetic and earthier, more on mud and humus, garden earth, then mushrooms and coffee dregs, Nescafé, musty old wood, old attic, roasted chestnuts, old menthol (cough) syrup, old pinewood… What it hasn't quite got is fruit. With water: rounder, mellower, with some honeycomb, sweet cider, almond cake…
restaurant Palate
indeed, it is pretty piney, resinous, with a salty side, some bitter tobacco, more acidic coffee, old woods… Not an easy old baby for sure, even if a few peppery mangos would then make a late appearance. With water: please add only a tiny drop, it's not the greatest swimmer ever, getting dry and tea-ish. Many very old whiskies suffer the same fate, having said that
timer Finish
rather long, fresh if a little piney when undiluted, forgettable when watered down
