Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 담긴 맑은 황금빛이 싱글 배럴다운 또렷한 개성을 머금고 빛난다. 1981년 증류된 발베니에서는 꿀과 잘 익은 배, 바닐라가 부드럽게 피어오른다. 50.4도의 입안은 진한 꿀 단맛과 오렌지, 은은한 오크가 매끈하게 흐른다. 단일 배럴에서 길어올린 열다섯 해의 시간이 스페이사이드 특유의 꿀맛을 또렷이 살려, 여운은 달콤하고 따뜻하게 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
what's striking is the big influence of the sherry, and yet the distillate still shines through, with yellow plums, apricots, oranges and maybe touches of tinned pineapples. And let's not forget acacia honey and plain nectar. The oak spices are becoming a little louder after a few seconds, with quite some cinnamon
restaurant Palate
sweet and quite mellow, well between sherry and pure Balvenieness. There's a most enjoyable kind of freshness despite the very raisiny sherry. Mirabelle jam, honey, marmalade, brioche, orange cake, maybe touches of cassis jam
timer Finish
long, with an oakiness that got bigger and makes it just a little drying. Walnuts, nutmeg and cinnamon. Fairly tannic aftertaste
