Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 21년을 보낸 숙성이 벤 네비스 특유의 진한 과일 향을 깊게 익혔다. 버번 우드의 영향으로 잘 익은 복숭아와 꿀, 바닐라가 풍성하게 올라온다. 입에서는 열대 과일과 왁스, 옅은 오크가 매끄럽게 번지고 47.2도가 풍미를 또렷하게 받친다. 1996년 빈티지의 벤 네비스다운 기름지고 묵직한 질감이 인상적이다. 짙은 황금빛 끝에는 잘 익은 과일과 꿀의 여운이 길게 이어진다.

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
