Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 벤 네비스다운 묵직하고 기름진 풍미 위로 잘 익은 과일과 밀랍, 가벼운 흙내음이 두드러진다. 1996년 증류된 21년 원액답게 거친 개성이 잘 익어 복합적인 깊이가 또렷하게 드러난다. 입에서는 48.8도의 도수가 토피와 말린 과일, 가죽 같은 풍미를 매끄럽게 끌고 가며 하이랜드의 두꺼운 보디감이 단단하다. 오래 숙성된 벤 네비스다운 왁스 질감이 명확하고, 피니시는 과일과 오크가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a beautifully lean, mineral and gentle sherry. Gingery, some golden syrup, tobacco leaf, mint tea, game meats and sultanas. Getting beautifully camphory and leathery with time. Notes of old books, brown bread, horseradish, asparagus soup, Scotch broth - generally very earthy, vegetal and ‘stocky’. Excellent and beautifully rounded
restaurant Palate
has this wonderful gloopy quality you often find in these Ben Nevis. Waxy, oily, old tool boxes, mechanical oils, rags, sack cloth, canvass and putty. Notes of dried mushroom, more damp pipe tobacco, mineral oil and dried herbs like bay leaf and tarragon. Dangerously pleasurable whisky
timer Finish
long, warming, notes of orange peel, ginger in syrup, dried flowers, mint, treacle and light waxiness
