Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 부나하벤다운 옅은 짠기와 마른 과일, 견과류 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1970년 증류해 38년을 보낸 이 위스키는 40.2도로 도수는 낮지만 향의 깊이가 묵직하다. 팰럿은 잘 익은 무화과와 호두, 옅은 소금기가 입안에서 천천히 발전하며 비피트 아일라다운 부드러움이 균형을 잡는다. 38년 숙성이 만든 둥글고 깊은 질감이 또렷한 구조감을 그린다. 피니시는 길고 부드럽게 이어지며 견과류와 옅은 미네랄이 남는다. 올드 부나하벤의 우직한 품격을 지닌 희귀한 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
all right! It’s like if this one was at least ten years older, as there are already these magnificent notes of fresh fruits (passion, tangerines) that one may find in much older expressions of Laphroaig. And kumquats, soot, coal, ripe gooseberries, smoked almonds, refined oysters (fines de claire), tincture of iodine… Epitomical, as they say. With water: wow, wow, wow! More of everything, including more elegance and a stunning leatheriness that’s only to be found in much older bottlings. A typo somewhere, for sure – stencilling of the casks, bond book, in the bottling hall, at the SMWS’ headquarters, whatever!
restaurant Palate
extremely ‘full’ yet very wide, most certainly one the most medicinal of all medicinal Laphroaigs I’ve ever tasted. It’s hard to describe it as these medicinal things are usually not things that you may swallow, but I’d say that we have quite some antiseptic, bandages (gulp!), mint and eucalyptus-based balms, camphor… And mercurochrome. Enough to cure many illnesses. With water: massive!
timer Finish
long, full, more Laphroaig than the most Laphroaig of all official Laphroaigs
