Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북동 해안의 분나하벤이 1979년 증류해 20년을 채운 보틀링이다. 피트보다 바다를 닮은 증류소답게 맑은 금빛 위로 해풍이 감돈다. 향에서는 짭조름한 소금기와 견과, 마른 과일의 향이 차례로 올라온다. 입에서는 57도의 높은 도수가 미네랄과 캐러멜, 오렌지 껍질로 번진다. 여운은 바닷바람의 짠맛과 오크의 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
lots of milk chocolate, burnt caramel, cake. More and more milk chocolate and fudge. Mocha, cappuccino… Even some Bailey’s, Alexander. Very enjoyable. Gets then very fruity, on ripe strawberries and sabayon. Orange flowers. Refined and very elegant!
restaurant Palate
bold, powerful, compact, nervous… Great! Lots of fruity notes, apple juice, pear juice, watermelon… Light caramel… gets a bit tannic and peppery after a moment. Sure the palate is les complex than the fantastic nose but it’s still enjoyable. Long finish, perhaps just a bit too sugary. Water doesn’t work; it makes the malt even more sugary and ‘simple’. Anyway, 87 points for this very good surprise. Bunnahabhain 20 yo 1979/1999 (57%, James MacArthur Old Masters, cask #9677)
