Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔에 곱게 어린다. 에드라두어의 피티드 버전인 밸러킨 2011은 살구와 잘 익은 바나나, 마르멜로의 과실 향에 마지팬과 누가의 달큰함, 은은한 페놀이 어우러진다. 46도의 입안에서는 파인애플과 레몬 마멀레이드의 단맛이 화사하게 번지고 브리오슈와 살구 파이, 꿀의 풍미가 겹친다. 셰리와 버번 캐스크가 함께 빚은 여운은 살짝 풋풋하고 알싸한 기운에 옅은 소금기를 더하며 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
