Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴 평원의 비옥한 보리밭과 온화한 기후가 벤리악 특유의 풍부한 과실 향을 길러 왔다. 셰리 호그스헤드에서 28년을 보낸 술은 잔에 짙은 호박빛을 띠고, 코에는 잘 익은 복숭아와 꿀, 건포도의 단내가 겹겹이 피어난다. 56.3도의 강한 입안에서는 무화과와 토피, 가벼운 향신료가 풀바디로 어우러진다. 1975년 빈티지의 긴 숙성이 빚어낸 여운은 달콤한 과실과 오크를 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
although there is an initial abundance of honey and pollen, you could almost say it is a little closed to begin with. It certainly needs time to open up. But it does come eventually - fresh brown bread, aged calvados, a lick of balsamico, tutti fruit, pink grapefruit and some damp earthy notes underneath it all. There’s also a meaty and slightly leathery note along with some old boal madeira rising up from the depths. With water: some ripe nectarine, orange liqueur, brown sugar, fruit loaf and a saline, long-aged oloroso sherry note
restaurant Palate
golden syrup, spun sugar, olive oil, aged Sauternes and some buttered white toast all come forward initially. There’s sweetness but also autolytic aspects vying for dominance. Aged muscat, some prune juice, dates, fig jam, black cherry, ointments and dried rosemary. Even a wee hint of black olive. I find it pretty complex really. With water: superbly dry, earthy, salty and darkly fruited. Lots of bramble, damson, sour cherry, mirabelle, old plum wine, salty liquorice, dried mint and a little tropical pineapple note emerging. Water really makes it sing
timer Finish
Long and full of damp earth, preserved lemons, cigar boxes, wet leaves, dried prunes, ointments and camphor
