Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 벤 네비스 특유의 묵직한 왁스 향과 셰리 우드에서 온 건자두, 가죽이 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 25년 숙성이 만든 두꺼운 질감 위로 셰리의 단맛, 다크초콜릿, 오렌지 껍질이 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 52.1도가 기름진 바디를 밀어 올린다. 피니시는 가죽과 흙내음, 오크 향신료가 길게 남아, 올드 스타일 하이랜드 셰리 숙성의 깊이가 또렷이 이어진다.

phew! It was a light finish; they've not gagged this splendid well-aged Ben Nevis from a great vintage. Even if it is a softer one, more on pine honey, light raisins, moss, mushrooms, poached peaches and pears… I especially enjoy all this humus, it's like having a stroll in the woods after the rain. There's also a little pipe tobacco, while we really appreciate that this was oloroso and not PX. With water: more earth yet! And pine needles, compost, more mushrooms, pine bark…
restaurant Palate
wonderful, I really get why they've done this finish that really worked out. I remember there used to be some energy bars that were gathering walnuts, oranges and honey, but the name escapes me. I'm also finding pink pepper, Szechuan, Timut… I'm a sucker for this too. With water: some saltiness and oranges, wax, more bitter dried fruits. More bitterness
timer Finish
long, on pepper, bitter citrus and herbs. Propolis and a few bitter tannins
