Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸 버번 배럴에서 익힌 뒤 소테른 와인 캐스크로 마무리한 숙성이 벤리악 15년에 깊이를 더한다. 와인 우드가 요란하지 않게 남긴 캐모마일과 인동꽃, 말린 무화과가 호두와 바닐라, 마지팬과 어우러져 향을 완성한다. 입에서는 말린 과일과 후추, 육두구, 진한 홍차가 번지며 오크의 존재감이 은은하게 드러난다. 짙은 황금빛 잔 끝에 좋은 의미의 카라멜라이즈된 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
I’m totally certain it’s improved quite a lot. I mean, in my book. This has depth and not many ‘in your face’ winey notes’, while subtle notes of chamomile, honeysuckle, roasted argan oil and dried figs are pleasantly playing together. There’s also a very fine oakiness, with some walnuts and a delicate vanilla. And marzipan, and blond tobacco. Very nice, as they say in whisky forums
restaurant Palate
indeed, well done. Dried fruits and a little pepper, nutmeg and strong black tea, so the oak’s slightly obvious, then a spicy jam that would contain bitter oranges and strawberries. Let’s not forget cloves
timer Finish
long, a little caramelised – in a good way
