Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 리필 아메리칸 오크가 빚은 꿀과 바닐라, 발베니 특유의 밀랍 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 25년 숙성한 싱글 배럴답게 깊고 부드러운 향이 노즈를 지배한다. 팰럿에서는 47.8도의 도수 위로 토피와 잘 익은 배, 가벼운 오크 스파이스가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 바닐라와 마른 오크, 꿀의 단맛이 또렷하게 남는다. 장기 숙성 발베니다운 우아한 구조감이 단단하게 짜인 몰트다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
fully Balvenie. Touch of nail polish at first, then mirabelles and quinces, then croissant and brioche, then custard and acacia honey. That's all folks, and that was very much already
restaurant Palate
absolutely splendid, perhaps a tad rougher than earlier vintages (the glorious 1970s) but indeed full of plums, yellow ones, green ones… Quinces are there too, sugarcane as well, tiny notes of Victoria pineapple, then just vanilla and the best part of oak. It is not a very complicated malt whisky, it's even a tad simple, but I find it epitomically Balvenie, which is enough for me. I must be on my lucky day
timer Finish
lovely finish, creamy, ueber-Balvenie-ish, on preserved mirabelles with just a dash of sawdust. Vanilla and barley syrup in the aftertaste
