Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 더프타운의 발베니 증류소가 자체 보리 농장을 운영하는 풍토에서 이 위스키가 빚어졌다. 1974년산 15년은 진한 황금빛으로 잔에 잠겨 있다. 향에는 잘 익은 배와 바닐라, 토스트한 헤이즐넛이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 꿀과 시나몬, 오크 스파이스가 묵직하게 입을 채우고 57.1도의 강한 도수는 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 마른 곡물과 가죽 같은 여운이 길고 단정하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
pah-pah-pah! I had forgotten how great those vintages were, with these extra-phenols and honeys. It is a sublime nose, with lime tree blossom, pinewood ashes, thyme and lavender honeys, lemongrass, melissa syrup, beeswax, mirabelles and apricots indeed, camphor and tiny bandages… Oh well, this is all marvellous, and rarely to be encountered in any modern bottling. Not just at Balvenie! With water: a-s-t-o-u-n-d-i-n-g. Crème de menthe and almond paste, plus fresh putty and a touch of medlar
restaurant Palate
this is immense whisky, as huge as some 1972 Ardbeg – just one example – and yet almost totally unpeated. I’m saying almost because there is a little smoke around the corners. Burnt eucalyptus, or sauna stuff, perhaps. Otherwise, glorious citrons and lemons, bitterer waxes, and old-school Eastern herbal liqueurs. More or less. With water: please call the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade!
timer Finish
long, fabulously waxy and citrusy. Eucalyptus-based cough syrup in the aftertaste
