Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 밝은 금빛이 잔 벽에 얇게 매달린다. 코를 대면 벤리악 특유의 잘 익은 멜론과 복숭아, 보리 사탕 향이 산뜻하게 풍긴다. 53.8도를 한 모금 넘겨 혀에 굴리면 19년 숙성이 빚은 부드러운 질감 위로 열대 과일과 바닐라의 단맛이 겹친다. 단일 캐스크 보틀링답게 과실의 결이 또렷하게 살아 있고, 삼키면 달콤한 과일 여운이 천천히 사그라든다.
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
