Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 열 해를 보낸 1994년 벤리악이 어린 시간 특유의 또렷한 과실 표정을 그대로 드러낸다. 향은 잘 익은 사과와 배, 바닐라 시럽으로 부드럽게 풀려나간다. 입에서는 노란 자두와 꿀, 옅은 시리얼이 가볍게 미끄러지듯 흐르고 46도의 알코올이 단정하게 정돈된다. 옅은 황금빛이 잔에 또렷이 비치고 여운에는 마른 오크 향신료와 들꽃 향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
air Nose
farmy, very farmy. Farmy peat, if your prefer… Wet hay, manure, dog’s place… Not much else I think. Kind of an anti-Islayer super smokiness at first nosing, mixed with bananas and vanilla pod. Very ripe mangos. Goes on with quite some wax polish, sandalwood, strawberry jam, hints of allspices… Lots of nougat as well. Truly beautiful and something that reminds me of old Clynelish. Really lush
restaurant Palate
pearish and peaty of course but again, rather simple. Pepper… Hints of Provence herbs (thyme and rosemary) but also something slightly acrid. I’m sorry but I like most other versions of the ‘new’ BenRiach much, much better. Now, this will please people who seek variation in their peat. 75 points (unchanged) Benriach 37 yo 1968/2006 (52%, OB, Hogshead #2712, 157 bottles) No peat version oh yes, immensely fruity like a blend of old 1968 Bowmore, 1972 Clynelish and 1966 Lochside. Well, you see what I mean. Hints of varnish. something nicely green and also a little salt. Gets very spicy, with a great oakiness (ginger, white pepper). Marzipan, liquorice… Extremely rich, almost fat, and the finish, is long, gingery and peppery (white), getting back to bananas. Slightly drying at the end but just excellent and not tired in any way despite the 37 years. 91 points . Benriach 21 yo 1984/2006 (55%, OB, Oloroso Sherry cask #2712, 658 bottles) A peaty version
