Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
영국 최고봉 벤네비스 자락의 포트윌리엄에서 빚어진 이 위스키는 서부 하일랜드의 묵직하고 왁스 같은 질감을 지닌다. 피노 셰리 버트에서 22년을 보낸 잔에는 짙은 황금빛이 감돈다. 향은 견과와 마른 과일, 밀랍이 또렷이 깃든다. 51.2도의 입안은 호두와 흙내, 짭짤한 셰리의 단맛이 진하게 번진다. 여운에는 가죽과 마른 향신료가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
not as immediately lush as the Thompson Bros bottling, this is leaner, more chiseled, grassier and more on lime, kiwi, crisp sauvignon blanc, passion fruit and pin-sharp cereal notes. Lemons and limes in green tea, bandages, mineral oils and stone fruits with fragrant wild flowers on top. Another terrific 96 Ben Nevis! With water: wonderfully sooty, oily, waxy, estery, lightly tropical and mineral
restaurant Palate
fabulously oily and textural delivery! Mint julep, olive oil, mineral salts and then various exotic fruits - both ripe and in syrup form. Verbena, citrus juices, herbal liqueurs, subtle waxy notes and some rather flinty and chalky mineral aspects. With water: superb now! Really perfect with water, leaps like one of Jon Beach’s personal racing salmon. There’s a richness and a fatness to it that comes with dilution and that mineral/waxy side recalls early 80s Clynelish in some ways. More floral, chalky, pollens, waxes, salted mead and camphor
timer Finish
long, fatty, oily, greasy, mechanical, waxy, oily hessian rags and various shades of wildflower. Some bitter citrus piths in the aftertaste
