Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 코를 대면 벤리네스 12년 매니저스 드람의 셰리에서 온 건포도와 묵직한 보리, 견과가 또렷하게 전해진다. 63도의 높은 도수가 팰럿에서 마른 과일과 오크 향신료, 다크초콜릿을 또렷하게 밀어 올린다. 벤리네스 특유의 묵직한 질감이 셰리의 깊이와 명확하게 어우러진다. 가수하면 단맛이 더 또렷하게 살아난다. 피니시는 길고 가죽이 남는다. 구조감이 단단한 올드 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s a very sulphury spirit, very unusual. It’s not sulphur from the cask, it’s from the spirit. That gives it a medicinal side, whiffs of bandages, rubber bands, new car, tyres, chalk… It’s also pretty butyric. As I said, unusual… With water: it became very gamey. Cured ham, struck matches… Mouth (neat – with fear): it is powerful but quite curiously, it’s kind of sippable, you just have to be careful. The sulphur is back, together with bags of bitter oranges, tangerines and then a lot of cardamom and even green curry. Touches of Tabasco as well, aspirin tablets… Becomes more tart after that, with some lemon squash and drops. Did I write that this is unusual whisky? With water: resembles the 1994 now. The combination of Benrinnes’ character with first fill sherry (this must have been first fill as well) makes sparks fly
timer Finish
long, more mineral. Some kind of cocktail involving triple-sec and various spices. Bitter almonds in the aftertaste
