Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드의 벤 네비스가 호그스헤드에서 23년을 보낸 싱글 몰트 오브 스코틀랜드 보틀링으로, 잔에는 깊은 황금빛이 윤기 있게 빛난다. 벤 네비스 특유의 향은 잘 익은 복숭아와 밀랍, 진한 곡물의 고소함이 어우러져 묵직하게 열린다. 53.6도의 기운이 입안을 단단히 채우며 꿀과 토피, 가벼운 향신료의 단맛이 또렷하게 흐른다. 오랜 숙성이 만든 기름지고 풍성한 질감이 인상적이며, 여운에는 오크의 떫음과 곡물의 고소한 잔향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
full of sheep wool, putty, mineral oils, shoe polish, new leather, burlap, hessian and a kind of lemon-tinged waxiness - not unlike citronella candles. More of these wee mustard notes with white pepper, chalk and aspirin. Typical and superb. With water: quite saline now, more pin-sharp minerality, olive oil, hessian cloth, herbal cough syrup and this easy chalkiness
restaurant Palate
it’s a rather sharp one, very chiselled, brittle, mineral-driven and pure. Fresh fabrics, waxed canvass, mineral salts, cough medicines, soot, bitter citrus piths and lanolin. With water: totally great with water. Wider, fatter, thicker and brimming with salted mead, heather honey, exotic fruit syrups and waxes
timer Finish
long, salty, nicely bitter, nervously fruity and full of twitchy minerals and light medical notes
