Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 부나하벤 특유의 짭조름한 미네랄과 잘 익은 과일, 옅은 견과 향이 가장 먼저 명확하게 드러난다. 22년을 보낸 이 1980 빈티지는 42.3도의 낮은 도수에서도 풍미가 또렷해 입에서는 건포도와 보리 단맛, 가벼운 가죽이 차례로 발전한다. 비피트 아일라 몰트다운 부드러움과 바다 내음의 균형이 단단하다. 한정판으로 병입된 이 위스키의 피니시는 마른 과일과 옅은 소금기가 길게 이어지며 단정한 구조감을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
very dark amber/mahogany
air Nose
oh wow! Immensely rich and amazingly complex right from the start, reminding me of the Saxplayer, only coated with much more fruits (all kinds, whether dried or as jams) and quite some chocolate. And the very same whiffs of coal smoke and beef stock plus these notes of high-end Cuban cigars, both unlit and lit (say a Robusto Extra by Trinidad – okay, forget about that.) With water: more of the same, really. Maybe an increased meatiness
restaurant Palate
absolutely phat-tastic, immensely concentrated and creamy but the most amazing thing is that it’s in no way heavy. Prunes, chocolate, very old sherry, old forgotten liqueurs (remember Parfait Amour?), pipe tobacco, jamon Iberico… And myriads of other aromas that I won’t list here and now (yes, all this porn would get even more boring). With water: it got a tad drier, I think water is not needed here, and maybe even to be avoided
timer Finish
long, does ‘the peacock’s tail’
