Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 속에 따뜻하게 머문다. 하이랜드 발블레어가 1979년 버번 캐스크에서 스물네 해를 보낸 이 리미티드 에디션은 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 바닐라의 향을 부드럽고 우아하게 피운다. 46도의 점잖은 술은 입안에서 보리 단맛과 시트러스, 은은한 향신료와 크림 같은 바닐라를 매끄럽게 풀어내며 오랜 숙성의 균형을 드러낸다. 여운에는 꿀과 잘 익은 과일, 부드러운 오크가 깔끔하고 길게 이어지며 하이랜드의 단정한 결을 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one is very expressive at first nosing, all on flowers, fruits and slightly yeasty/mashy notes. Wild flowers, dandelions, butter pears, apple juice, gooseberries, vanilla-flavoured yoghurt, hints of tangerines and just touches of oak... Very ‘natural’ in these days when many whiskies get sort of flavoured (let’s not start...) Fresh and eminently ‘likable’
restaurant Palate
light but not weak, fresh but maybe a little less clean than on the nose... Comes back into the line a little more as far as the palate is concerned but it’s still excellent malt whisky. Faint kirschy notes but good body, with a pleasant spiciness arising after a moment (white pepper and cinnamon)
timer Finish
rather long, all on pears and soft spices. Again, very good ‘natural’ whisky, with a true taste of the Highlands (if that makes any sense). 85 points (more for the nose). Balblair 1979 (46%, OB, 15 casks, 2006) We’ve heard that this one is now almost sold out. Yes we’re late
