Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1992년 부르크라디 발린치의 짙은 자줏빛이 잔 벽을 따라 미끄러진다. 코끝에 가져가면 피게로 와인 캐스크가 빚어낸 잘 익은 다크 베리와 자두, 옅은 가죽의 향이 차례로 다가온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 49.8도의 부드러운 풍미가 입천장을 적시며 무화과와 카카오, 옅은 후추를 풀어놓는다. 삼키면 아일라 비피티드 위스키의 정갈한 단맛이 잔향으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber, with faint reddish hues
air Nose
curiously more discreet than the 1986 at first nosing, but getting rather similar after a few minutes. A little rubberier and also more winey, growing hotter. Gets very orangey and coffeeish, with the distillery’s markers still there but toned down (melon). Smells of oriental pastry, getting very fragrant and almost perfumy (orange water, musk) and bubblegummy, with a strong layer of toffee and caramel. Whiffs of menthol. Not exactly my type but rather complex and nicely ‘made’
restaurant Palate
more balanced and fruitier than the 1986 this time, with lots of cooked fruits (strawberries, apricots), crystallised oranges and tangerines, praline, but also quite some fresh fruits (very ripe peaches). A bit of rubber again… Develops on some very nice hints of camphor and spearmints… Not the most complex ever but definitely a nice version with not too much wine influence – thank you. The finish is quite long and bold, very balanced, on fruitcake. Very nice palate! 86 points . Bruichladdich 1992/2005 'Extra Strength' (50%, Wilson & Morgan)
