Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 북아일랜드 부시밀스다운 부드러운 곡물 단맛과 셰리 호그스헤드에서 온 건포도, 꿀 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1989년 빈티지를 15년 숙성한 이 아이리시 싱글 몰트는 삼중 증류 특유의 매끄러움 위로 잘 익은 과일이 발전한다. 팰럿은 56.5도의 도수가 단단한 구조를 세우며 토피와 구운 견과, 옅은 향신료가 명확하게 자리 잡는다. 잔을 비운 뒤에도 꿀과 구운 견과 잔향이 남는다. 피니시는 셰리 오크와 부드러운 몰트의 여운이 길게 이어진다. 아이리시의 섬세함이 셰리로 짜인 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
much more discreet at first nosing but maybe more elegant, with the usual fruitiness being sort of tamed by the rum – or so it seems. Apples, bananas and pears with a little candy sugar and an unusual grassiness as well as something delicately mashy (heavily buttered mashed potatoes like Joël Robuchon did in his older Parisian restaurant, 50% butter and 50% potatoes). We have also quite some flowery notes, pollen, light honey and hints of vanilla crème… Rather dainty, I’d say
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, again with maybe more balance and delicacy despite the huge fruitiness (you see what I mean, don’t you). Nice notes of bergamots and candy sugar, caramel-topped pears, nougat, halva… And a long finish, maybe a little more MOTR now, more simply sweet and fruity. Much closer to a ‘regular’ Bushmills than the 1984 of course and very good. 85 points . Bushmills 1993 ‘bourbon’ (56.5%, OB for LMdW Paris, cask #298, 2006)
