Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 진하게 일렁인다. 스페이사이드의 벤리악이 버번과 셰리를 거쳐 37년을 보낸 이 싱글 캐스크는 잘 익은 복숭아와 말린 과일, 꿀의 향을 풍성하게 피워 올린다. 51.9도의 한 모금은 매끄럽게 흐르며 열대 과일의 단맛과 토피, 은은한 향신료가 깊게 어우러진다. 사십 년 가까운 숙성이 빚은 농축된 단맛이 입안을 가득 채우고, 여운은 꿀과 마른 과일로 길고 깊게 사그라든다.
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
