Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울이면 짙은 황금빛이 유리벽을 따라 흐른다. 코를 가까이 하면 부나하벤 특유의 짭조름한 해풍과 버번 호그스헤드의 바닐라, 잘 익은 과일이 어우러진다. 한 모금을 머금으면 48.3도의 부드러운 기운 속에 꿀과 견과, 옅은 소금기가 번진다. 비훈연 아일라 몰트인 이 위스키는 30년의 숙성이 해안의 개성을 둥글게 다듬어냈다. 삼키면 과일과 소금기가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it's like the 1976 but with more oomph, more tension, more precision, mainly focused on a beehive, with its honey, beeswax, and pollen, then overripe apples and the nectar from flowers like dandelions. It's very beautiful and honestly, blindfolded, I would have guessed it was from 1972 or 1976. I know, the concept of vintages is dubious when it comes to whiskies. Unless I'm wrong, generally, it's barley from the previous year that they're using; anyway
restaurant Palate
only a slight hint of intrusive woodiness might prevent it from reaching the heights of a 91+. Aside from that, the vanilla pod custard, acacia flower fritters, notes of fresh panettone, earl grey, and Middle-Eastern pastries (stay strong!) are sublime. I need some good synonyms for sublime, without veering too much into the clownish or the sexist, as the whisky world has already been there, done that. If you have any ideas, send me a postcard
timer Finish
quite long, a bit mentholated and aniseed. Drops of sweet absinthe
