Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 무려 40년을 보낸 시간이 부나하벤 원액에 원숙한 해안의 깊이를 새겼다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 열대 과일과 밀랍, 옅은 소금기가 어우러진다. 47.2도의 한 모금은 기름진 질감 위로 꿀과 망고, 짭조름한 미네랄이 매끄럽게 흐른다. 옅은 호박빛의 이 보틀링은 2014년 병입되었고, 끝맛에서 과일 단맛과 해풍의 짠맛이 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
back to normality, and in the case of an old Bunnahabhain, normality can be a dream. The quinces are back, there are even touches of well-ripen seabuckhrouberries (I know, I know), some salinity, rather mild orchard fruits (apples), green bananas… All that is very subtle, very elegant, and needs your time. Never rush these and they’ll reward you
restaurant Palate
perfect! A very fresh, lively, subtly fruity Bunnahabhain, with some sweeter/rounder coastal notes (clams, perhaps?) as well as fresh almonds, and more of those moderately expressive fruits, quinces, apples… And yes my friend, seabuckhrouberries (after the first frost)
timer Finish
medium, clear as Mozart, delicately fruity, and very complex indeed
