Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 12년을 보낸 시간이 이 발베니의 성격을 또렷하게 그려낸다. 갓 자른 풀과 레몬 셔벗, 백묵을 스치는 듯한 산뜻함이 가장 먼저 코를 두드린다. 입에서는 초록빛 사과와 라임의 팽팽한 신맛이 47.8도의 힘을 타고 퍼지고, 은은한 멘톨과 파라핀이 뒤를 잇는다. 화이트 와인처럼 옅은 색조 아래 젤리빈 같은 단맛이 감돌다가 끝에서는 새콤한 과실의 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
fresh and citric at first, chalky and lemony, with touches of fresh oak (not totally dry) and just cut grass. A little iron too. It's very tight, with growing notes of paraffin and fresh cement, then green apples and a wee menthol/camphor combination. Refreshing altogether
restaurant Palate
really very good. Lemon sherbet, tight grasses, the greenest green apples and the greenest limes, then perhaps mirabelles and damsons, but it'll never get as mellow and rounded as some other casks that I had tried earlier
timer Finish
long and sweeter, more on jellybeans, then just a lot of grass. Perhaps a little too much sourness in the aftertaste, sour fruits…
