Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 황금빛이 잔에 깊이 어린다. 엑스버번 배럴에서 32년을 보낸 벤리악은 잘 익은 멜론과 망고, 꿀의 무르익은 향을 겹겹이 풀어놓는다. 입안에서는 열대 과일과 바닐라, 오래된 오크의 은은한 향신료가 매끄럽게 번지며 긴 숙성의 깊이를 드러낸다. 1979년 빈티지답게 우아하게 익은 과일감이 또렷하고, 48.4도의 도수가 풍미를 단단히 받친다. 잘 익은 과일과 꿀의 여운이 길게 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
