Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
더프타운의 발베니는 직접 보리를 띄우는 플로어 몰팅 전통을 지켜 온 스페이사이드의 명가다. 아메리칸 오크와 셰리 오크를 거친 더블우드는 짙은 호박빛을 띤다. 25년의 긴 숙성에서 꿀과 건포도, 잘 익은 과일 향이 부드럽게 솟는다. 입에서는 토피와 마른 과일, 향신료가 43도의 단정한 도수에서 매끄럽게 흐른다. 여운은 길고 우아하며 꿀과 셰리 단맛이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
very, very bizarre... Lots of old books, wet newspaper, warm candle wax... and also lettuce, cabbage, asparagus... Very, very funny and unlike any other whisky I could try up to now. Good oakiness, ginger... Interesting
restaurant Palate
really punchy, fruity, kirschy, tasting like American rye, with good oak and good balance. I like this one’s straightforwardness (or should I say candour?) The oak is a bit dominant after a moment but nothing really excessive
timer Finish
long, on plum spirit and oak plus ginger and a little horseradish, still with good balance. Good ‘foreign’ whisky, not trying to mimic Scotch, really well made I’d say. Congrats Austria! 78 points.
