Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴 외곽의 보리밭 한가운데 선 벤리악은 과일향 짙은 몰트로 사랑받는 증류소다. 1994년 빈티지 배럴에서 19년을 보낸 이 위스키는 맑은 황금빛을 띠고, 향에서는 잘 익은 배와 살구, 바닐라가 또렷이 깃든다. 48도의 입은 꿀과 구운 보리, 시트러스의 산뜻함으로 부드럽게 입을 적시며, 버번 배럴이 가벼운 우드 스파이스를 더한다. 여운은 잘 익은 과수원 과일과 바닐라의 단맛으로 잔잔히 이어진다.
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
