Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울여 흔들면 아일랜드 부시밀스의 21년이 짙은 호박빛을 그리며 미끄러진다. 코를 가까이 하면 세 번 증류한 아이리시다운 매끈함 위로 마데이라가 남긴 말린 살구와 꿀, 견과가 겹쳐 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 올로로소와 버번이 짜낸 부드러운 단맛이 혀를 감싸고 잘 익은 무화과가 번진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 마데이라 특유의 달큰한 산미가 입안에 은은하게 깃들어 마무리된다.
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?
