Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 옅은 금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 빠르게 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 리필 호그스헤드에서 온 보리와 사과, 가벼운 향신료의 향이 산뜻하게 올라온다. 2008년 증류해 13년을 보낸 벤리네스를 한 모금 머금으면 53.3도의 힘이 시트러스와 맥아 단맛, 옅은 오크를 또렷이 펼친다. 삼킨 뒤에는 풀잎과 후추가 깔끔하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
this is something else. It’s even bigger, but it’s much better balanced, rounded, hugely raisiny, with an obvious bourbony side (new US oak), pencil shavings and eucalyptus syrup. It’s an unusual style in Scotchland, we’re kind of halfway between the US and the British isles. Could that be the Azores? With water: some tar coming out, earth, pitch, peat (I mean raw peat straight from the garden centre, not smoke). No over-sweetness from the Pedro, that’s cool
restaurant Palate
Buffalo Trace! No, seriously, it’s got the punch, the sweetness, the roundness and the spicy side of many a rich bourbon. I even find touches of rye, mind you. With water: must be the oak, because we’re still in Kentucky, in a way. Even Benrinnes, which is a fat spirit, hasn’t a lot to say. Like the notes of walnuts and roasted chestnuts
timer Finish
long, dry. Black tea Russian style and assorted pipe tobacco
