Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 적갈색이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 어린다. 스페이사이드의 벤리악이 페드로 히메네스 펀천에서 28년을 보낸 캐스크 에디션이다. 코에는 졸인 건포도와 대추야자, 다크 초콜릿의 향이 깊게 피어오른다. 53.4도의 입질에서는 검은 과일의 진한 단맛과 호두, 감초 같은 향신료가 겹겹이 풀려난다. PX가 남긴 시럽 같은 달큼함이 긴 숙성의 깊이와 맞물려 끝에서 마른 과일과 토피로 오래도록 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
a true blend of smokes, not just peat. There’s peat, of course, but also resinous woods, beech, and even a hint of fuel oil. All this melds with the expected citrus and marmalade notes, resulting in something compact and no-frills, much like certain malts from the Kildalton shore. With water: smoked almonds and Lapsang Souchong, this time with a cloud of milk – is it allowed to have Lapsang Souchong with milk? Also, roasted pine nuts
restaurant Palate
this is both excellent and highly distinctive. Notes of coriander, pink grapefruit, gentian, mentholated cough drops, and a menthol-tobacco edge, though it’s hard to pinpoint how much of this comes from the virgin oak. Crucially, no plank notes—absolutely none—but rather sap buds. With water: one might think of an oriental pastry loaded with pistachios and orange blossom honey. A touch of smoked bacon as well
timer Finish
the peat makes a triumphant return, yet everything remains tightly integrated, never disjointed or chaotic. The citrus sings in the aftertaste, which also features more menthol and a touch of tar
