Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 32년을 보낸 시간이 부나하벤 1979의 깊은 풍미를 빚어냈다. 말린 무화과와 호두, 짭짤한 바다 내음이 코끝에서 어우러져 솟아오른다. 한 모금은 54.7도의 힘이 진한 셰리 단맛과 가죽, 옅은 소금기로 입을 가득 채운다. 비피트 아일라 특유의 우아함이 짙은 호박빛 잔에 담겨, 여운은 무르익은 과실과 미네랄로 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
heavy oloroso, so strong that the whisky’s almost smoky (no gunpowder though). Also huge notes of Havana cigars, old balsamic vinegar, Spanish ham, overripe Zwetchke and very old Bourgogne, between civet cat and Russian leather (well what ought to be Russian leather according to wine freaks). Definitely some rancio and quite some vin jaune after that, old walnut liqueur, old Swiss cheese… It’s quite extreme in this style ‘but I like it’, even if poor old Bunnahabhain doesn’t have much to say in this heavy context. With water: it’s Banyuls or old ‘drying’ PX, not quite whisky ;-)
restaurant Palate
fruitier, zestier, more chocolaty and even more raisiny. Some kind of reduced jam mix, all very extreme. With water: excellent, fruitier. Not without making us think of some old sherried Glendronach
timer Finish
quite long, a little fresher and more lively? Mulled red wine and orange juice
