Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 더프타운의 발베니 1972는 20년을 보낸 뒤 1992년에 병입된 고전적인 위스키다. 잔에는 은은한 황금빛이 어린다. 오랜 숙성이 빚은 꿀과 잘 익은 사과, 바닐라, 묵은 오크의 향이 부드럽게 감돈다. 43도의 우아한 도수로, 입에서는 꿀과 과수원 과일, 은은한 향신료가 매끄럽게 흐른다. 여운은 꿀과 오크의 단맛으로 잔잔하고 길게 이어진다.
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.
