Flavor Profile
Tasting 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
