Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잘 익은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 깊게 어린다. 2006년 호그스헤드에서 14년을 보낸 벤리네스는 묵직한 질감으로 이름난 증류소답게 잘 익은 사과와 보리, 가벼운 가죽의 향을 단단하게 풀어놓는다. 57.9도의 도수가 입안에서는 꿀과 구운 견과, 따뜻한 향신료로 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 오크가 남긴 절제된 단맛과 은은한 흙내음의 여운이 깊게 머물며 스페이사이드의 단단한 골격을 길게 드러낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it is coffee-Schnapps(li), and there’s a little gunpowder too. Kirsch and struck matches in Italian ristretto. Also some chocolate. Not a bag mix, it’s just very segmenting, as some say. More raisins after five minutes, while the gunpowder’s vanished in the air (or, as often, has been filtered out by your olfactory equipment. With water: woosh, all gunpowder’s really gone now. We’re left with lovely notes of chocolaty raisins – or raisiny chocolate, as you like. No, wait the gunpowder’s back after five more minutes. A gun that was just used
restaurant Palate
very rich, slightly smoky, full of orange liqueur and pretty honeyed, this could be date arrak at high strength! A little monolithic but it’s a pleasant style. With water: notes of waxy cardboard, which are related to that gunpowder. No embarrassment whatsoever in this context
timer Finish
long, rich, with smoky oranges. And what’s in the aftertaste? That’s right, gunpowder
