Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 40년을 묵은 술이 짙은 호박빛으로 잔 안에 잠긴다. 코를 가져가면 비피트 부나하벤답게 강한 연기 없이 짭조름한 해풍과 말린 과일, 견과의 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 1963년 빈티지가 응축한 농익은 과일 단맛과 가죽, 오래된 오크가 혀를 감싼다. 천천히 삼키면 소금기 어린 깊은 단맛이 입천장에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
nice and elegant peat. Great smokiness but all quite light. Some grassy and feinty notes, but almost no fruits almost youthfull!. Tropical fruits, white pepper, all sorts of spices (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon…) Very complex
restaurant Palate
bold and quite fruity this time (strawberry, gooseberry, fresh pineapple). Lots of smoke. Long finish, with a little pepper. A beautiful whisky, perhaps just not as big and majestic as Port Charlotte, but I tasted the latter only at 2 and 3yo. Ratings for the Moine: 90 points (Olivier 90) . Bunnahabhain session at home and at the Lochindaal Pub) : Bunnahabhain 40 yo 1963/2003 (42.9%, OB, 743 bottles) bold, rich and complex, with lots of fruits (orange), lots of spices and some great peppery notes. A nice salty finish, very, very long. In short, a very good one, not tired in any way, but the 1968 ‘Auld Acquaintance’ is still much better. 87 points for the 1963 (Davin 88, Ho-cheng 90, Olivier 90) Bunnahabhain 34 yo (40.5%, DL Old Malt Cask)
