Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 살짝 흔들고 코를 묻으면 호그스헤드에서 21년을 보낸 벤 네비스답게 잘 익은 과일과 밀랍, 옅은 흙내가 함께 올라온다. 한 모금 입 안에서 굴리면 묵직한 보리 단맛 위로 꿀과 가벼운 시트러스가 번진다. 47도의 결을 천천히 삼키면 왁스 같은 질감과 고소한 맥아의 단맛이 입천장을 감싸고, 빈 잔에서도 진한 향이 남는다.

air Nose
aww. Perfect. Much complexity brought by 1. One of the finest distillates, 2. Good wood, and 3. Enough time. Many herbal teas, camphor, wet gravel, fresh walnuts, moss, some fresh tobacco, linseed oil (and a little fusel oil too), a drop of high-ester rum, old magazines… Well this is perfect indeed
restaurant Palate
extremely good. There’s a good share of this superb dirty roughness that Ben Nevis fans just cherish, as well as, really, quite a lot of notes of cognac. We’re talking proper artisan cognac, not large vattings by large brands. London, are you suggesting that in the past, the future of whisky would have been cognac?
timer Finish
long, even more raisiny. The sooty malt is back in the aftertaste, with some lemon
