Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
신선한 버번 캐스크에서 15년을 보낸 우드가 벤네비스 특유의 묵직하고 거친 풍미를 한결 깔끔하게 다듬었다. 잘 익은 파인애플과 사과, 바닐라의 단 내음 뒤로 옅은 왁스와 가죽의 뉘앙스가 스민다. 입에서는 꿀과 보리, 토피가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 51.7도의 힘이 단단히 받친다. 짙은 황금빛 사이로 과일과 오크의 깊은 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
anyone who’s tried some very old official glories knows that Ben Nevis can take sherry extremely well, with its minerality mingling with walnuts to perfection. Fantastic leather and tobacco in this very case, walnuts indeed, mustard sauce (à la diable), concrete and fumes, old garage, engine oil… When was this distilled? Wasn’t that ‘69 instead of ‘96? With water: roasted chestnuts and old walnuts. Perfect. Also this touch of natural unscented soap that’s not unseen in Ben Nevis
restaurant Palate
rather extraordinary. Old pu-erh tea, bitter oranges, caraway, chen-pi (how do you like that, Taiwan?), cigars, miso… This is Ginger and Fred between the spirit and the cask, honestly. Or Mick and Keith. With water: more oranges. Who said as usual?
timer Finish
long, rather on bitter oranges, with the chalk in the aftertaste. Again, not unseen
