Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 벤네비스다운 기름지고 묵직한 결이 잔 벽을 천천히 타고 내린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 잘 익은 복숭아와 밀랍, 옅은 흙내음이 어우러져 올라온다. 26년을 보낸 이 위스키를 한 모금 머금으면 48.9도의 부드러운 질감 위로 꿀과 오렌지, 가벼운 가죽 향이 차례로 드러난다. 천천히 삼키면 왁스 같은 질감과 무르익은 과일 단맛이 혀를 감싸며 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
where can we lodge a complaint? This is not Ben Nevis, this is Clynelish. I am not joking. Well, I am, but by billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles in a thundering typhoon, what happened? Good, indeed, if you give it a tiny portion of your most precious time, you'll find a little pepper and mustard that do not quite belong to Clynelish. But other than that…
restaurant Palate
crikey, they've added some old Balblair. Same comment, only wee bits of bits of salty and costal mustard will confirm that this 'could' be Ben Nevis indeed
timer Finish
medium long and, phew, indeed, chalkier, more peppery, more on bitter herbs and sorrel soup (perhaps). Seawater and one mussel in the aftertaste
