Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북동 해안 부나하벤의 짭조름한 바닷바람과 청량한 공기가 부나하벤 1979의 결을 빚어낸다. 짙은 적갈색 너머로 건포도와 호두 껍질, 짭조름한 미네랄의 향이 또렷이 드러난다. 31년 1st Fill 셰리 캐스크가 만든 진한 단맛과 다크 초콜릿이 두꺼운 질감으로 입을 채우고, 46.5도 알코올은 아델피 셀렉션의 균형감을 깊게 풀어낸다. 짠 미네랄 여운이 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
brown/amber
air Nose
sweet, rich sherry, not quite PX but it’s got this rich feeling. Glazed chestnuts, chestnut honey, Demerara sugar (which makes me think that I have many new rums to taste!) and then some ‘clean’ gunpowder (no sulphury smells whatsoever) and a few funny vegetal notes. Beetroot juice?
restaurant Palate
more dryness and more menthol and liquorice as well at first sips, which is very nice in this context. We’re really savouring some very old sherry… then various kinds of raisins, a feeling of juicy rich pipe tobacco and quite a lot of sweet liquorice. Excellent
timer Finish
long, coating, rich, with more spices but it’s never drying
