Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
배럴에서 20년을 보낸 이 벤리악은 스페이사이드 몰트의 단정한 결을 그대로 품는다. 버번 계열 배럴의 영향으로 향에서는 바닐라와 잘 익은 사과, 보리사탕이 맑게 피어오른다. 입에서는 꿀과 캐러멜, 옅은 시트러스가 54.6도의 기운을 업고 또렷하게 번진다. 갓 구운 빵과 보리의 고소함이 중심을 단단하게 잡아준다. 밝은 황금빛 아래로 바닐라와 풋과일의 단맛이 깔끔하게 길어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
never been a huge fan of peated Benriach, some young ones had even been a little vulgar shall we say, but this utter farminess is kind of spectacular. Mud, then old yard after a heavy shower, cracked pepper, spend grains, sour doughs, Calmac’s porridge… This is very austere indeed, and perhaps only for intellectualists. Not me. With water: mud and porridge, with a little lime juice. Gotta love lime juice
restaurant Palate
the nose was forgettable, this is not. Huge peat, huge pepper, immense tar and bitterness, some lemon, and a bit of pain. This was probably pretty hot in the peat years, but by today’s standards, it’s simply too much. Or for these times’ Obersturmbannführers only. With water: frankly better, that is to say with more lemons and drops of gherkin and olive brines
timer Finish
rather long, salty, dry. Cactus juice
