Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
손안에서 잔을 굴리면 짙은 적갈색이 잔 벽에 두꺼운 자국을 남긴다. 코를 묻으면 말린 무화과와 대추야자, 다크초콜릿의 향이 풍성하게 올라오고 옅은 가죽이 뒤따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 PX 셰리가 빚은 진득한 단맛이 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 세 번 증류한 벤리악답게 가벼운 스피릿이 받쳐 주며 삼키면 건과일과 향신료가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
we’re rather in fortified wine territories here, with some ‘pale’ spicy fruitcake. Dried apricots, touches of ginger and star anise, a little leather and soft mustard, some fruity pipe tobacco and various kinds of raisins. With water: maple syrup and mirabelle juice in an old wine cellar. I have to say this works very well at this point
restaurant Palate
I find this one rather strange now, as it blends some sweet bonbons with a rather sharp spiciness. Crushed orange drops mixed with ginger and cumin liqueurs, or something like that. Add two glasses of bitter walnut wine. A little Campari-like, if you will. With water: some saponification happening. Hints of violet sweets coming through, together with more grass
timer Finish
rather long, spicy. Bitter oranges in the aftertaste
