Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴 동부의 청량한 공기가 벤리악 1976을 33년 동안 빚어낸다. 잔에는 옅은 호박빛이 깨끗하게 잠겨 있고 리필 버번 캐스크가 남긴 트로피컬 과일과 꿀의 향이 또렷이 일어난다. 46.2도의 부드러운 무게로 입안에서는 망고와 패션푸르츠, 그리고 옅은 바닐라의 단맛이 깊게 머문다. 여운에는 보리설탕과 흰꽃의 향이 길게 이어지며 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
much more cask influence than in the Kilkerran, obviously, but I do not detect any offbeat or cloying notes in this baby, even if the notes of orange zest and liqueur are big. Orangeade as well. A rather unusual whisky actually, getting kind of oriental, with whiffs of incense and sandalwood, cedar wood (brand new humidor), leather… And even more oranges plus notes of metal after a while (old aluminium pan). Kind of the opposite of the Kilkerran in style despite the common orangey notes
restaurant Palate
goody-good, much more to my liking than the first 8yo. More polished, more classical, smoother but certainly not numb, with excellent spices on top of quite a lot of marmalade and ginger tonic. Speculoos. Gets then more peppery and gingery, with also the same kind of ‘pleasant soapiness’ that I found in the Kilkerran. Yup I’ll really have to find another word for that!
timer Finish
long, very orangey and gingery. Zests
