Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈의 첫인상은 벤네비스의 묵직한 보리와 왁스 향이다. 포트 윌리엄 증류소답게 1996년 증류분에서 마른 과일과 가죽, 옅은 흙내가 23년 숙성 속에 발전한다. 52.7도의 도수에서 입은 진하고 보리 단맛과 견과, 향신료가 균형 있게 흐른다. 피니시는 왁스와 마른 오크로 길게 이어진다. 벤네비스 특유의 거친 질감과 깊이가 또렷한 구조감으로 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
golden syrup on brown toast! This very easy and approachable profile that blends together waxes, chalk, putty, coal embers, dry cereals and olive oil with real aplomb. This kind of luscious juicy fruitiness in the background at all times. With water: gets greener and little lighter and grassier. Garden fruits, elderflower, pollen and various nectars
restaurant Palate
clean, peppery, oily and very mineral with many impressions of oily rags, tool boxes, metal polish and soot. Raisins, camphor, hessian, more toasty and bready notes and this overall feeling of textural fatness that seems to be a modern era Ben Nevis hallmark. With water: again a little lighter with water, more floral accents, white flowers, stones, chalk, dried herbal qualities. But overall still dry, mineral and quite tautly structured
timer Finish
long, waxy, slightly sappy, earthy and peppery. Some herbal tea notes in the aftertaste
