Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 발베니 특유의 꿀과 유러피언 오크 올로로소의 견과 향이 동시에 두드러진다. 13년 유러피언 오크 올로로소 셰리 버트 숙성이 발전시킨 말린 무화과, 다크 캐러멜, 가죽 노트가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 58.2도 캐스크 스트렝스가 입을 깊게 채우며 흑설탕 시럽, 호두, 자두 콩포트, 가벼운 시나몬이 단단한 구조를 형성한다. 데이비드 스튜어트 컴펜디움 시리즈의 캐릭터가 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 셰리 단맛과 우드 스파이스의 여운으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw, with the very same shades and nuances
air Nose
often the same story, you couldn’t quite tell about the origins of these additional flavours, is that bottle aging or a different distillate in the first place, or, granted, both. In this very case, we do have melons and mirabelles that smell pretty contemporary, but also a lot of moss, camphor, pine needles, well-aged tea (pu-ehr), embrocations, massage balm, sauna oils, and so on. This is simply ravishing. With water: just perfect. Flints, chalk, rhubarb, green oranges
restaurant Palate
utterly amazing, reminding me of an old Balvenie ‘As We Get It’ that we had tried quite some years ago. Fantastic grapefruits and lemons, with a pretty acidic arrival, while it’s then all razorblade-like, mineral, lemony, very tense, and pretty pungent. Cleans your palate, I can tell you. With water: huge citrus now. As juices, as sweets, as syrups and as liqueurs. Very impressive
timer Finish
long, ueber-clean, very citrusy and pretty chalky
