Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴 외곽의 비옥한 보리밭이 벤리악의 27년 PX 숙성을 떠받친다. 1994년 페드로 히메네즈 펀천이 빚어낸 이 보틀링은 53.7도와 짙은 마호가니빛을 함께 드러낸다. 향은 무화과 잼과 건포도, 옅은 시가의 묵직한 인상이 또렷이 드러난다. 입에서는 묵직하게 입을 채우는 자두잼과 다크 초콜릿, 호두 오일이 단단한 골격을 이룬다. 여운에는 스페이사이드 보리밭의 햇볕이 깊게 머문다.
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
