Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
풀골드빛이 잔 속에 깊게 머문다. 피트를 입힌 벤리악답게 향은 첫 순간부터 복잡해, 오래된 구리 주전자와 버베나, 쑥 같은 허브티가 도드라지고 그 사이로 캠퍼와 쓴 아몬드 오일, 퍼티가 스친다. 입에서는 평소의 과일향 벤리악과 전혀 다른 표정으로, 오래된 아몬티야도와 호두주, 훈제육과 이베리코 햄, 쓴 오렌지가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 46도의 단단한 도수를 안은 여운은 담배와 햄, 호두의 쌉싸름함으로 길게 이어진다.
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
