Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 오래된 가죽과 말린 과일, 옅은 소금기를 중심으로 전개된다. 1968년 증류되어 43년을 보낸 부나하벤은 리필 셰리 우드에서 온 차분한 단맛이 향의 깊이를 더한다. 입에서는 46.5도의 도수가 부드럽게 흐르며 무화과와 다크초콜릿, 은은한 해조류의 풍미가 또렷하게 발전한다. 아일라 몰트지만 피트가 절제되어 셰리와 미네랄의 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 짭조름한 미네랄의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
we’re more or less in same territories after the Mo Or, even if this baby’s more dirty, buttery, vegetal and slightly musty/mushroomy at first nosing (all that in a good way, mind you!) After a few minutes, becomes geared toward many more fruits, especially cider apples, and broken branches and roots. Same touches of curry as in the Mo Or and maybe a little smoke. Leather
restaurant Palate
once again we’re pretty close to the Mo Or, this one having a firmer oakiness that imparts more grassy and spicy tones, all assets for sure. So more mint, maybe caraway seeds, nutmeg… But other than that, it’s the same fresh and even rather silky kind of fruitiness. No signs of over-aging whatsoever
timer Finish
pretty long, honeyed and fruity, with pleasantly sharp spices imparting more oomph (fresh pepper?)
