Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 속에 가라앉은 적갈색이 28년의 셰리 숙성을 응축한다. 1975 벤리악답게 잘 익은 무화과, 가죽, 다크 초콜릿의 향이 또렷이 풀린다. 입에서는 56도의 도수가 짙은 단맛으로 입천장을 덮으며 흑설탕, 호두, 말린 자두가 펼쳐진다. 스페이사이드 셰리 호그스헤드의 깊이가 잔향까지 잠잠히 이어진다. 시간을 들여 음미할 면모가 한 잔에 잘 드러난다.
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
