Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 호그스헤드가 입힌 깊은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 미끄러진다. 코끝으로 가져가면 벤 네비스 특유의 진득한 과실과 밀랍, 살짝 묵직한 효모 내음이 함께 올라온다. 51.5도의 술을 한 모금 머금으면 잘 익은 복숭아와 꿀, 옅은 가죽 향이 혀를 두껍게 감싼다. 24년 하일랜드 숙성이 더한 오크의 깊이와 묵직한 단맛이 삼킨 뒤 천천히 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
different wood, different style. This is almost more towards some of these old Irish malts with this exuberant grassy and exotic combination that immediately makes you think of top notch Kiwi sauvignon blanc with passion fruits, crushed nettles and a rather jangling and bright minerality. Lime, chalk, guava and, over time, more of these familiar waxes and hessian which reorients us back to the west coast of Scotland. With water: becomes a little leaner, more mineral, more pure and freshly on grass, citrus fruits and touches of cod liver oil and camphor
restaurant Palate
a fruit bomb. Exotic fruit salad juices cut with top class olive oil, a tiny thread of mineral salts, plenty juicy, easy waxes, and also some slightly herbal and medicinal touches. With water: less 'overtly' fruity, more mineral once again, more on resins, expensive cooking oils, white pepper, jasmine tea, waxes and crystallised citrus fruits
timer Finish
long, grassy, tautly mineral, olive oil once again, pepper, waxes and green fruits now
