Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 21년 발베니 싱글 배럴이 트래디셔널 오크에서 얻은 꿀과 바닐라, 잘 익은 사과 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 스페이사이드 증류소의 단정한 스타일답게 화려함보다 정돈된 향이 두드러진다. 팰럿은 47.8도에서 오렌지 꿀과 부드러운 오크, 가벼운 향신료가 균형 있게 발전한다. 피니시는 바닐라와 마른 오크로 은은하게 길어지며, 단일 배럴 특유의 또렷한 개성과 단단한 구조감을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
a lot of putty, some nail polish, then some green tea, wheelbarrows of almonds and marzipan, while it would then gear towards the more traditional mirabelles and apricots that I always enjoy in Balvenie. There’s a touch of mint too, perhaps wild carrots… All that before it would turn to buttered popcorn
restaurant Palate
big bodied, with some peppery touches upfront, the usual mirabelles again (but as jam), a pinch of grated coconut, then really green barley that you would have stolen from a field (boo). It’s still got youth and a lovely firmness, we’re not quite in post-prandial territories yet
timer Finish
long as a Frank Zappa solo, and even improving, I’m even finding a salty touch. Salt in Balvenie? More popcorn too, it’s true that caramelised and salted popcorn is a slaughter, as we say. Never buy very large bags of that and sit in front of Netflix
