Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 밝게 일렁인다. 퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 16년을 보낸 아일랜드 부시밀스는 삼중 증류 특유의 매끄러운 질감 위에 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 바닐라의 향을 산뜻하게 피워 올린다. 한 모금 머금으면 보리 사탕과 시트러스, 크림 같은 부드러움이 또렷하게 번지고 56.6도가 따뜻하게 받친다. 여운에는 꿀과 마른 오크, 옅은 향신료가 길게 이어지며 부드럽고 깔끔한 결을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
chardonnay
air Nose
Incredible. It's hard to tell if it's the bourbon barrel that has added these notes of olive oil to the pink grapefruits and passion fruits, but the result is stunning and takes Bushmills away from the 'all about the fruit' side that I personally adore but which may disturb some fans of more austere, more self-controlled spirits. You will also find a bit of beeswax, orange zest, some wisteria, and sweet woodruff... A few drops of water will reveal the thyme honey that we had already found in the sherry version
restaurant Palate
absolutely irresistible, slightly salty, overflowing with citrus and small aniseed notes, fennel, dill... The whole is taut as a bow string, very clean, very pure. With water: just a bit more honeyed roundness and vanilla, typical of some rather active American oak, 'but not too much'
timer Finish
long, on zests, with some pine needles
