Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴의 벤리악이 25년이라는 긴 시간을 들여 복합적으로 빚어낸 위스키다. 세 가지 캐스크를 거친 이 보틀링은 잔에서 깊은 금빛을 낸다. 오래된 구리와 허브차, 버베나와 약쑥의 향에 장뇌와 쓴 아몬드, 퍼티가 겹쳐 든다. 46도의 도수로 입안에서는 아몬티야도와 호두주, 훈제 고기와 햄, 쌉쌀한 오렌지가 묵직하게 번진다. 마무리는 길고 담배와 햄, 금속과 호두의 풍미가 오래 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
indeed this is really very complex right from the start, with notes of old copper (kettle) and many herbal teas, verbena, wormwood… There’s a little vegetal tar (fir), some camphor for sure, bitter almonds oil, fresh putty and paint, then a wee meaty side, bordering umami. No wait we said we’d now use the word osmazôme instead. What’s sure is that this is rather different from the regular older Benriachs, which usually rather burst with fresh fruits
restaurant Palate
I think I’ve never quite tasted something like this, once again we’re far from the ‘usual’ Benriach, and rather on a kind of blend with some old amontillado, walnut wine, smoked meats and ham (Iberico), tobacco, game, bitter oranges (lots), artichokes, brown sugar, plus drops of Worcester sauce. A wee vinegary side too (Bull Dog sauce). I think I seem to remember a Karuizawa that was a bit like this strange Benriach
timer Finish
long, all on tobacco, ham, metal and walnuts. Some kind of bitter and sour sauce in the aftertaste
