Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
헝가리 레드 와인 캐스크가 남긴 흔적이 발베니의 향과 맛 곳곳에 붉게 스며 있다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 자두와 라즈베리, 갓 구운 빵의 향이 먼저 올라온다. 47.3도의 도수 위로 꿀과 붉은 베리, 가벼운 타닌이 어우러져 입안을 감싼다. 12년의 숙성이 와인의 과실미와 스페이사이드 특유의 맥아 단맛을 매끄럽게 잇는다. 은은한 루비빛 끝에 말린 과일과 따뜻한 향신료가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it does seem to have been a sweet wine, there’s a slightly muscat-like note, or perhaps muscadelle in the Sauternes style (though that’s not found in Andalusia, I believe), and yet—almost miraculously—the Balvenie markers remain intact, notably mirabelle plums and quince (either paste or tart). In short, the cask and distillate aromas have remained fairly adjacent… Subtle, discreet touches of rose petals as well
restaurant Palate
indeed, one could say this is Balvenie, lightly elevated, with fairly spicy European oak though never excessive, bringing notes of Christmas spices, mulled white wine, cinnamon… Beneath that, tiny bits of citrus zest and dried fig
timer Finish
medium in length, nicely balanced between fruit and some herbal infusions… of the festive sort. A touch of pepper in the aftertaste
