Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
코끝에 먼저 닿는 것은 벤리네스 특유의 묵직한 질감과 잘 익은 과일의 향이다. 거친 듯 단단한 스페이사이드 몰트답게 노즈는 가죽과 구운 견과, 옅은 향신료가 또렷하게 올라온다. 팰럿은 50도의 도수 위로 건포도와 몰트 단맛이 묵직하게 발전한다. 1979년 증류한 오랜 숙성이 깊은 구조감을 만들고, 피니시는 마른 향신료와 흙내음으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine again
air Nose
it’s younger than the 1984, but it’s certainly more mature, without much bread/yeast/grain and with many more fruits, including some very zesty tangerines and blood oranges. I find touches of mineral sulphur again (not burnt, no eggs, no cabbage, no matches…), then drops of Gueuze, sweet apples, plums and just a little barley sugar. Nice, clean, natural and mature
restaurant Palate
same, more or less, although it got a little grassy and bitter this time. Not its best side, I’d say, loses points now. The grains are more obvious as well, porridge, oatcakes, bread… And always this bitterness (walnut skin.) Too bad
timer Finish
of medium length, grassy and grainy. Apples
