Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 타고 부드럽게 번진다. 코끝에 가져가면 아일랜드 부시밀스 특유의 세 번 증류한 매끈한 보리 향에 올로로소와 마데이라가 더한 말린 과일과 꿀이 어우러진다. 한 모금 머금으면 21년 숙성한 비단 같은 질감 위로 무화과와 토피, 잘 익은 살구가 번진다. 40도로 둥글게 삼킨 뒤에도 마데이라의 달큰한 과일과 견과가 혀끝에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts even more unusual than I remembered from earlier batches, with notes of tinned sardines (?) and even anchovies at first nosing, brine… Calms down after a minute, getting more ‘Bushmills’, on bananas and vanilla, mastic, red currants, stewed red fruits, a little leather… Keeps improving. An interesting nose for sure, these hints of tinned fish never completely disappear
restaurant Palate
quite strangely, we’re close to the previous ones at first sips but the main difference is that this one has a much longer development and is much more complex. More fruits (bananas, also figs, litchis, ripe gooseberries and strawberries…) and more spices. Quite some cinnamon as well, from the oak
timer Finish
medium long, very sweet, very fruity. Something of a fruit liqueur. Kiwis?
