Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 가장자리에서 따뜻하게 빛난다. 1976년 스페이사이드의 벤리악을 리필 버번 캐스크에서 36년이나 길러낸 이 싱글 캐스크는 오랜 시간이 농축한 열대 과일을 펼쳐 보인다. 코끝에는 파인애플과 망고, 꿀의 향이 깊게 어우러지고 입에서는 잘 익은 살구와 바닐라, 보리의 단맛이 부드럽게 흐른다. 49.6도의 여운에는 과일 조림과 옅은 오크 향이 길고 잔잔하게 이어진다.

no, seriously, this is textbook 1976 Benriach, ridden with passion fruits and mangos. The oak is maybe a notch louder than in earlier +/-30yo bottlings, and maybe this is a tad less fresh and vibrant, but given that the sherry is minimal (wee touches of sultanas), we’re remaining in high territories so far. Also very nice notes of cider apples that keep it clean and fresh. So absolutely nothing to complain about, getting especially since the mango notes never stop growing

yeah well, the oak’s louder for sure. I mean, louder than in the most famous 1976s. It hasn’t taken over yet, but one can feel that it’s a matter of two or three years, max. Anyway, so far it remains a very fruity Benriach, with the same tropical fruits plus a citrusy side that’s most pleasant. Oak aged tangerine eau-de-vie?
timer Finish
of medium length, with a little more vanilla. Cardamom, menthol and nutmeg in the aftertaste. And cloves – just a little
