Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 벤네비스 1996의 고유한 왁스 향과 리필 셰리 버트가 입힌 가벼운 자두·말린 과일의 노트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 잔을 흔들면 빵 반죽과 약초 노트가 발전한다. 팰럿은 53.8도 도수가 만드는 묵직한 보디 위에 검은 자두, 가죽, 다크 토피가 명확하게 드러나며 셰리와 증류소 캐릭터의 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 약초와 흑설탕 톤이 길게 이어진다. 22년 숙성이 빚어낸 벤네비스의 깊이가 또렷이 드러나는 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
not totally dissimilar to the 97, there’s still this slight sense of austerity with these flinty, chiseled, lemony, slightly yeasty and autolytic qualities. A very good blanc du blanc champagne. As it opens up it goes more towards chalk, limestone, olive oil and lime zest. There’s also bailed hay, light cereal tones and assorted dried herbs. With water: chiseled, pin-sharp, mineral, oily and with a few nervous and resinous fruity notes. Really excellent and very old school in character
restaurant Palate
Great arrival, all on juicy fruits, lemon sherbet and a big burst of bubblegum up front. Lemon cheesecake, sourdough starter, sandalwood, dried thyme, herbal extracts, citrus infused olive oil, light mustardy notes and camphor. Gets more tropical as it goes on but it’s more towards dried fruits such as papaya, banana and pineapple. With water: remains dry but also pretty fruity, an old buttery riesling, some cornflakes dusted with icing sugar and hints of chamomile and grapefruit
timer Finish
long, mustardy, peppery, oily, lots of resinous fruits, citrus peels, some cough medicine and hints of fruit salad sweets
