Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 벤린스 산자락의 서늘한 풍토가 벤리네스 특유의 묵직한 질감을 길러낸다. 1997년 증류해 20년을 세 가지 우드에서 보낸 이 위스키는 짙은 황금빛을 띠며, 코에는 잘 익은 자두와 꿀, 은은한 향신료가 어우러진다. 53.9도의 입안에는 토피와 건포도, 오크 스파이스가 두껍게 번지며 균형이 단단하게 잡힌다. 여운은 달큰한 몰트와 가벼운 후추가 길게 이어지며 깊은 무게를 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
typical chalky/fruity start, but rather with preserved peaches this time, even preserved pears. That’s a pleasant combination. Gets then a little barley-y and honeyed, with even notes of sugarcane syrup. With water: fresh, and indeed rather chalky. Wet plaster?
restaurant Palate
really very fruity, and less mineral this time. Banana and apple skins, grapefruits, then an earthier side, as well as notes of dark pipe tobacco. Eating a bit of tobacco from an untipped Gauloise (that brings back some memories…) With water: same savoury side as in the first Wemyss. Drops of Maggi sauce, perhaps. Other than that, it’s all fruits
timer Finish
long, on pretty much the same kinds of notes. Which is nice
