Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 부르번 캐스크에서 36년의 긴 시간을 보낸 흔적이 1976년 빈티지 벤리악의 본질을 결정한다. Single Cask Bottling의 49.3도가 그 깊은 숙성의 정수를 드러낸다. 향에서는 잘 익은 트로피컬 과실과 신선한 바닐라, 옅은 코코넛이 코를 사로잡는다. 입에서는 망고와 캐러멜의 두꺼운 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채우고 약한 우드 향신료가 깊이를 잡는다. 색은 짙은 황금빛이며 여운은 오래된 우드의 잔향으로 길게 따라간다. 절제된 도수가 향미의 디테일을 살리고 단단한 구조감으로 잔향을 받쳐 준다.

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?

of medium length, with a little more vanilla. Cardamom, menthol and nutmeg in the aftertaste. And cloves – just a little
