Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
발블레어가 1975년부터 22년을 머금은 시간이 맑은 황금빛으로 잔에 빛난다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 마른 풀의 향이 깔끔하게 피어오르고, 그 뒤로 옅은 시트러스가 비친다. 한 모금 머금으면 배와 보리 사탕, 가벼운 꿀의 단맛이 부드럽게 번지고, 하이랜드 특유의 단단한 결이 혀 위에 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 46도의 도수가 잔잔하게 흐르며, 마지막에는 마른 곡물과 옅은 오크의 깨끗한 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
indeed, more time. This is much more complex, much wider than the 1997, but just as fresh and full of life. More tropical as well, with mangos, bananas, papayas and pineapples on top of the usual orchard fruits (apples and all that). Some fruits are overripe but that goes very well, it makes it even more complex. Let's only hope the palate won't be too light…
restaurant Palate
it's not! Perfect balance between the luscious fruitiness and some polished oak, the whole remaining very fresh. A little light honey as well, oranges, strawberries, butter pears, mirabelles… We're approaching the older officials, which is great news
timer Finish
quite long, with more cinnamon and white pepper from some pretty active oak that must have been involved at some point
