Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
구릿빛이 도는 짙은 적색이 잔에 깊게 잠긴다. 1989년 포트 캐스크에서 32년을 보낸 아일랜드 Bushmills의 Causeway Collection답게 트리플 디스틸레이션의 매끄러움과 포트의 베리 단맛이 어우러진다. 코끝에는 라즈베리, 자두 잼, 옅은 장미향이 올라온다. 50.1도의 도수가 입천장을 부드럽게 덮고 체리, 다크 초콜릿, 옅은 미네랄의 짠맛이 발전한다. 여운에서는 베리의 단맛과 오크의 매콤함이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
very marginally rosé gold

oh! What a stunning, complex, elegant and yet slightly 'in-your-face' avalanche of mangos, ripe bananas and pineapples, papayas, maracuja, rambutans, blood oranges, orange blossom honey, pollens, apricot nectar… It's funny that it would be geared towards western orchards after a few seconds, that's superb! Now I do not actually find cassis or raspberries, perhaps cranberries? Perhaps wild wee strawberries?… With water: incredible, rather on pink peppers, hawthorn, pink grapefruits, perhaps a wee bit of macaron à la rose from Ladurée's (a thing for ladies and gastronomes)…

just totally on par with the stunning indie (undisclosed) Bushmills from similar vintages. Does the Port bring something new? Perhaps, indeed, touches of strawberries and raspberries, but other than that, it's just a tropical fruity typhoon. With water: I have to say that raspberries get more noticeable, but the tropicals (and topicals) keep fighting back
timer Finish
medium – these are never extremely long - but still arrogantly fruity. Those famous 'fruit salads'
