Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔에 부드럽게 고인다. 에드라두어가 이탄을 때 만든 발레친 2009는 셰리와 버번 캐스크를 함께 써 여덟 해를 보냈고, 은은한 연기 위에 밝은 과일 향을 얹는다. 잔을 기울이면 살구와 잘 익은 바나나, 마지팬과 누가의 달큰함이 옅은 페놀과 어우러진다. 46도의 입안에서는 파인애플 사탕과 뜨거운 레몬 마멀레이드, 브리오슈의 단맛이 흐르고 꿀이 뒤를 채운다. 작은 증류소다운 개성이 곳곳에 드러난다. 여운은 옅은 훈연과 향신료, 은은한 소금기로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it has troubles talking at this very high strength, let’s add water right away (but it seems that there are nice notes of apricots). With water: listen, I’d love to bash this crazy wine finishing (and god knows Yquem is great wine) but contrarily to ‘Tokaj’ versions that were really too much, this is very, very enjoyable. Not sweetish at all, rather balanced, kind of phenolic, superbly fruity, on apricots, ripe bananas, quinces and herbal tea (camomile) and then marzipan and nougat. Works very well (I’m afraid)
restaurant Palate
punchy, sweet and fruity, all on pineapple drops and hot lemon marmalade. Very hot! With water: Edradour’s slightly ‘tricky’ character shines through for a short while but then it’s all bananas flambéed, tinned pineapples, brioche and apricot pie, with also quite some honey
timer Finish
long, a little more vegetal and spicy now, as well as a little salty
