Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오래된 구리 주전자와 여러 허브티, 버베나와 약쑥 향이 먼저 두드러지며 식물성 타르와 캄포르, 감칠맛 도는 고기 뉘앙스까지 복합적으로 발전한다. 팰럿은 아몬티야도 셰리와 호두주, 훈제 햄, 담배, 비터 오렌지가 또렷하게 드러나며 일반적인 벤리악과는 사뭇 다른 결을 보인다. 피니시는 길고 담배와 햄, 금속, 호두가 깊게 머문다. 10년 숙성으로는 보기 드문 구조감이 명확하게 드러나는 보틀링이다.
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
