Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북아일랜드 앤트림 해안의 부시밀스는 세계에서 가장 오래된 면허 증류소로, 세 번 증류한 매끈한 아이리시 스피릿이 특징이다. 1989년 증류해 셰리 호그스헤드에서 15년을 보낸 이 싱글 캐스크는 잔에 짙은 황금빛을 띠고, 향에서는 말린 살구와 꿀, 견과가 어우러진다. 입에서는 건포도 단맛과 부드러운 보리, 가벼운 향신료가 매끄럽게 번지며 56.5도가 무게를 더한다. 여운에는 토피와 마른 과일이 길게 남는다.
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)
