Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 1966년 부나하번이 35년을 거쳐 도달한 짙은 황금빛이 잔벽을 따라 미끄러진다. 잔을 코앞에 가져가면 페이스 일러 2002답게 옅은 바다 내음과 잘 익은 사과, 가벼운 견과 향이 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 46.1도의 부드러운 출력이 혀 위에서 풀리고 비페티드 아일라답게 절제된 곡물 단맛과 가벼운 광택감이 입천장에 깃든다. 삼킨 자리에는 옅은 짠기와 마른 오크의 잔향이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany/coffee
air Nose
I’m immediately transported to the past, back to warehouse tours with John MacLellan, bung-puller and valinch in hand. What memories! At any rate, this is a rich and weighty sherry on the nose, evoking the impression of nosing a very old ‘V.O.R.S.’, with an explosion of prunes and currants. Pipe tobacco, roasted pecans, triple sec and crème de menthe follow. A magnificent nose, quite direct, with even fewer flaws than a Botticelli
restaurant Palate
drier, focusing more on aged walnuts, unsweetened coffee and very dark chocolate, before moving towards increasingly wonderful notes of bitters of all kinds. It turns slightly drying, but this almost becomes a positive trait in this context. Chestnut honey brings some sweetness back after about a minute
timer Finish
fairly long, very elegantly dry yet gentle at once. Blackberry and blueberry jam linger, with a peppermint and Christmas cake aftertaste (better use this descriptor while it’s still in season)
