Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 옅은 금빛이 유리벽을 따라 흘러내린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 자메이칸 다크 럼 피니시가 준 당밀과 잘 익은 바나나, 흑설탕 향이 달큰하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 46도의 부드러운 질감이 혀를 채우며 벤리악 특유의 보리 단맛 위로 열대 과일과 향신료가 겹쳐 번진다. 삼키고 나면 럼 캐스크가 더한 달콤한 여운이 혀 뒤로 은근하게 감돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
unmistakenly 1968 Bowmore. That means an extreme fruitiness, truckloads of passion fruit, mangos and tangerines plus a very subtle ‘coastality’ (sea breeze). These whiskies aren’t extraordinarily complex I think but they are so perfect in their own genre that we do not need complexity here. A true fruitbomb
restaurant Palate
the attack is quite soft, almost a little weak but then the tangerines, lemons, passion fruits and mangos do arrive, together with salty touches and a very pleasant spiciness brought by the wood (cloves, soft curry, hints of pepper). Hints of violet sweets, then it’s almost like pure lemon drops
timer Finish
longer and bolder when compared with the attack, very citrusy and slightly peppery/salty, with also these notes of icing sugar that we already had in the new 25. How could any whiskyfreak dislike this? 91 points . PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK MUSIC – Recommended listening: let's have something bouncy and seriously 70's today with Dexter Wansel playing Latin Love .mp3 . Soul jazz at its best, I'd say...
