Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1978 빈티지 벤리악이 셰리 호그스헤드에서 32년을 보내며 발전한 깊은 셰리 임팩트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 디스틸러리 싱글 카스크 보틀링답게 건자두와 무화과 잼, 가죽 노트가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿에서는 48도의 안정된 알코올이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고, 다크 베리와 시나몬, 호두가 균형 있게 발전한다. 피니시는 셰리의 단맛과 오크 탄닌이 길게 이어지며 구조감이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this could have been very different from the old Samaroli but it isn’t. It’s probably a little less complex but we do get the same huge notes of coffee, smoke, coal and dried herbs. On the other hand, this is not meaty at all. Huge notes of roasted grains as well. Roasted chestnuts. Keeps evolving, getting closer to stout and malt extract but always with a huge smokiness
restaurant Palate
less ‘pleasantly sharp and dry’ now, and maybe a tad too ‘kirschy’ (raw fruit distillate). Oh well, let’s see what gives with water: right, it’s a excellent whisky but its much less ‘different’ that on the nose, contrarily to what happened with the 1966. White fruits, heather honey, a little mint and hints of pear spirit
timer Finish
long, getting a tad more resinous and smoky now
