Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드의 벤리악이 단일 배럴에서 열여덟 해를 보낸 1994 빈티지다. 맑은 볏짚빛이 잔에 환하게 빛난다. 잘 익은 살구와 꿀, 바닐라의 향이 산뜻하게 솟아오른다. 55.1도의 입맛은 시트러스와 보리 단맛, 옅은 향신료가 또렷하게 어우러지며 매끄럽게 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 여운에는 꿀과 백후추, 갓 구운 빵의 기운이 잔잔히 잠겨 깔끔하게 이어지며, 단정한 스페이사이드의 결을 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
yes! As usual, and in my own little book, oloroso does the trick much better than PX, and blends so much better with a peater, even if this is only a finishing. Some good chocolate that you would crunch on the shores of the Atlantic while burning dried seaweed and singing Dylan. You may cancel the last bit. With water: a little ink, old leather (old style wine enthusiasts would quote Russian leather), putty, carbolinium, creosote… What’s not to like?
restaurant Palate
there is a touch of violet once again, but also plenty of brown tobacco (sucking an untipped Gauloise), chocolate, very salty black olives and maybe one prune. With water: tar, brine, olives, ink and all that. Oranges at the fruit department
timer Finish
long, beautifully dry, smoky and orangey. The aftertaste is rather farmy
