Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1975년에 채워진 셰리 호그스헤드가 28년 동안 벤리악의 스피사이드 스피릿에 진한 단맛을 빼곡히 새겨 넣었다. 말린 자두와 흑설탕, 가죽 노트가 가장 먼저 떠오른다. 56.8도의 알코올은 입에서 다크 초콜릿과 호두 페이스트, 오렌지 마멀레이드로 묵직하게 흐른다. 짙은 호박빛이 잔을 채우고 여운은 가루 시나몬과 시가 박스로 깊게 머물며 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
nice and quite powerful, with lots of Havana tobacco and some sweet honeyed notes. Gets quite phenolic and peppery. Hints of turpentine
restaurant Palate
quite creamy and nutty. Whiffs of peat and pepper. Develops on dried fruits, orange zest and caramel, with a little vanilla. Rather long and spicy finish, with a good balance. A good, solid malt, maybe the best Imperial I ever had. I guess the 45% make most of the difference! 85 points . September 15, 2004 MALTS - TWO PEATED BENRIACHS BY SIGNATORY - yes, peated. Benriach 28 yo 1975/2004 (57.1%, Signatory Cask Strength, hogshead #7216, 234 bottles) Bottled last week! Here’s Signatory Vintage’s new ‘Cask Strength’ bottle, the former dumpy having been discontinued. This Benriach comes from the peated runs Seagram was doing in the past for blending purpose. You’ll read more about this topic in my E-pistle about WhiskyLive Paris to be published on maltmaniacs.com shortly. Let’s taste this one now…
