Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1976 빈티지 벤리악 특유의 트로피컬 과일, 파파야, 망고가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 30년 리필 버번 숙성이 빚은 농축된 과실미가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 팰럿에서는 52도가 부드럽게 입을 채우며 패션프루트, 꿀, 옅은 바닐라가 명확하게 드러난다. 스페이사이드의 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 길고 트로피컬 과일의 잔향과 마른 오크가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
not all these old indie Benriachs were very fruity but this one is! Superb profile, all on fresh oranges mixed with fresh mint leaves at first nosing. It gets then rather drier, with some cocoa and coffee, various herbal teas as well as plain tea, but also various tropical fruits that glimmer in the background, mainly mangos and passion fruits. All that isn’t too big of course but this oldie’s freshness is quite stunning
restaurant Palate
greatest of news, it’s not weakish nor tired, rather vibrantly fruity, with this very peculiar blend of fresh tropical fruits (again, mangos, tangerines, passion fruits and oranges) with many soft spices (oh well, you name them). There’s also a little honey and just a very faint tiny-wee dustiness that one may find in some of these old CCs
timer Finish
surprisingly long, with more herbs now, such as parsley and even thyme. An extra-dimension, great! Too bad it looses steam in your glass after ten minutes, and gets drier and maybe a tad soapy
