Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 배럴이 34년의 시간을 견디며 만든 결과가 향과 입에서 또렷이 드러난다. 시그너토리 빈티지의 프레스턴필드 시리즈로 보틀링된 벤 네비스 1975는 63도라는 강한 카스크 스트렝스에도 바닐라 크림과 열대 과일, 코코넛의 향이 명확히 발전한다. 입에서는 망고와 파인애플의 응축된 단맛, 옅은 왁스 톤이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 1970년대 벤 네비스 특유의 진한 보리 톤이 균형을 잡으며 여운은 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
most amazingly, this is something very unusual once again. Starts on a combination of orange squash and motor oil (not kidding), shoe polish, grenadine, pomegranates and something like rhubarb juice. Goes on with whiffs of wet rocks and clay/chalk and gets finally very liquoricy and fruity at the same time. Right, a huge pack of liquorice allsorts. Also a lot of ‘resinous’ honey (honeydew) and old wax polish. What a strange, but charming old whisky!
restaurant Palate
nah, this doesn’t work as beautifully as on the nose, its inherent wackiness make it a bit hard to enjoy this time. Notes of dirty honey (whatever that means), Campari, stale Guinness and English brown sauce (or sweetened gravy). Wait, even sweet onions!
timer Finish
rather long, on the same kind of honeyed and resinous notes as on the nose but also something metallic and papery. And some coffee and raisins, from the sherry I guess
