Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 마호가니가 잔의 회전을 따라 부드럽게 흘러내리며 깊은 윤을 남긴다. 1960년 부나하벤이 셰리 캐스크에서 39년의 침잠을 거쳐 더글라스 랭의 올드 몰트 캐스크로 풀려난 향은 잘 익은 무화과와 다크 체리, 옅은 해풍의 미네랄이 한꺼번에 피어오른다. 한 모금에 43.4도의 둥근 알코올이 흑설탕 토피와 호두 껍질, 가죽의 풍미를 부드럽게 펼쳐낸다. 마지막은 아일라의 짠 미네랄이 셰리 잔당과 만나 길게 식어간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber
air Nose
The sherry is dominant at first. Lots of cured meats, cooked ham, salty old Oloroso, walnut wine, damp earthen floor cellars, roasted chestnuts and strong mint tea. There is peat in there but it’s slight and delicate after all this time with the sherry. Gets more and more complex with time displaying aromas of rosehip, natural tar, strawberry wine, bitter mint chocolates and a little fragrant lavender (but not in a 1980s Bowmore way I should add). Even a touch of coal smoke and burning heather arise with patience
restaurant Palate
very dense syrupy sherry but it’s just about held in check by the earthiness and these ancient, residual peat qualities. I suspect this one was pretty heavily peated when it was young. Notes of coal tar soap, lanolin, maraschino and some rather ancient Cognacs and Rums. There is also a rather splendid sweetness running through it like botrytis, raisins and pomegranate molasses
timer Finish
Long and lingering with earth, chocolate, dunnage, distant medicine and herbal peat oils
