Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 부나하벤 특유의 비피트 캐릭터답게 견과류와 짭조름한 해풍 노트가 명확하게 드러난다. 1967년 증류해 38년을 보낸 만큼 향은 강렬함보다 원숙한 깊이로 발전한다. 팰럿은 호두와 말린 살구, 가벼운 가죽이 차례로 전개되며 40.8도의 낮은 도수가 한층 부드러운 질감을 만든다. 피니시는 은은한 오크 탄닌과 소금기가 길게 남는다. 오랜 숙성이 빚어낸 절제된 구조감이 인상적이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s the oak that talks first here, somewhat in the style of some old grains, with quite some coconut (and the liqueurs made thereof), vanilla and these faintly sour notes that can be very enjoyable – they certainly are here. The whole goes more towards floral, herbal and mentholated notes after that, with also hints of eucalyptus, honeysuckle and lime-blossom. Also whiffs of warm honey and quite some pollen. A great example of an ‘oaked’ whisky that’s not oaky, that is to say too dry and plankish
restaurant Palate
not tired, not oaky, not dry and rather moderately spicy, which is almost a miracle at 43 years of age. Great notes of tangerines and even a little passion fruits, tinned pineapples, then more liquorice wood
timer Finish
medium long and oakier, which is completely normal. Cinnamon, white pepper, nutmeg… Quite some green tea in the aftertaste, slightly tannic
