Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 진하게 일렁인다. 1972년에 증류해 20년을 보낸 이 발베니는 꿀과 잘 익은 배, 밀랍의 향을 천천히 풀어낸다. 46도의 부드러운 술이 입안을 둥글게 적시며 토피와 바닐라, 은은한 오렌지가 잔잔히 감돈다. 발베니 특유의 꿀 같은 단맛이 미끄러지듯 길게 이어지는 여운으로 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Oaked chardonnay
air Nose
A cornucopia of pollens, wildflowers, resins, fresh honeycomb and beeswax. Just the most beautiful nose that only time and simple wood can create. This feels like one of those whiskies that was just caught in the apex of its maturity. Goes on with greengages, gooseberry, mint julep, a little hessian and notes of aged muscat. A nose that positively 'glows' with freshness and complexity. Perhaps some candles scented with various spices, vanilla pods and a slightly olive oil grassiness
restaurant Palate
More layered and textured notes of honey and a touch of wood spice on arrival. More pollen, lilies, orange rind, cocoa power, buttered white toast. There's a resinous streak as well with assorted cocktail bitters and cinnamon bark, then some light natural vanilla. Gets more fruity and herbal in time with notes of dried rosemary and ripe banana, citrus and wee lick of strawberry
timer Finish
Long. Full of subtle notes of sap, wax, honey, various green and occasionally tropical fruits and a little brown sugar stickiness. Some cloves as well perhaps. Glorious though!
