Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 아일랜드 부시밀스 1989 15년의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안쪽을 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 셰리 호그스헤드가 빚은 잘 익은 자두와 옅은 가죽, 따뜻한 견과의 향이 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.5%의 도수가 입안에서 아이리시 위스키 특유의 부드러운 질감과 셰리의 단맛, 옅은 향신료로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 부시밀스 싱글 캐스크의 깊은 잔향이 입천장에 오래 따라온다.
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)
