Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔에 또렷이 비친다. 1996년에 증류돼 25년을 보낸 벤 네비스가 포트 윌리엄 산자락의 무게를 그대로 옮겨온다. 향에는 잘 익은 흑체리와 가죽, 옅은 향나무 연기가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 머금으면 검은 설탕과 발효된 빵, 약간의 광물성 짠맛이 두꺼운 질감으로 입천장을 덮고 49.8도의 도수가 웨스트 하이랜드 특유의 굵은 캐릭터를 길게 풀어낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
age often brings bananas and beeswax to Ben Nevis, pushing it towards Clynelish. But it is not a smoky one this time, it would even ten to move towards waxy Speysiders after a short while, let's say Caperdonich? Lighter honey, elderflowers, beeswax indeed, pollens and mead… And fewer coastal notes, of any. Feels very gentle…
restaurant Palate
oh it is glorious! It's got this Irish side, with beeswax, a little metal polish, artisan apple juice, many honeys, a lighter pepper, apple pie with cinnamon… It would tend to become saltier over time, but naturally, 'there is no salt in whisky'. It never stops getting more beautiful
timer Finish
rather long, let's say with some kind of Asian sauce gathering honeyed, salty, and spicy elements? You're right, like most Asian sauces, but in any case, this is beautiful
