Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
진한 적갈색이 잔 안에 깊게 고인다. 코를 가까이 하면 셰리 캐스크에서 온 말린 무화과와 호두의 향이 먼저 번지고 부나하벤다운 짭조름한 바다 기운이 받친다. 입에 머금으면 서른세 해가 농축한 검붉은 과일과 가죽의 풍미가 혀를 둥글게 감싸며 49.5도의 알코올이 부드럽게 가라앉는다. 몰트반이 거둔 이 1987년 부나하벤은 피트 없는 아일라 몰트의 깊은 셰리 숙성을 잘 보여준다. 여운은 마른 과일과 소금기 어린 코코아로 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
proper good refill sherry and rather a lot of one of malt whisky's main ingredients, time, which would translate into overripe apples, mint, camphor and natural old beeswax. Pollen too, williams pears, a little barley syrup, then something around fig wine and oriental pastries (orange blossom, almonds, honey, rosewater…) A fresh box of Turkish delights straight from Istanbul's old Atatürk Airport (pre-Erdogan); also some old furniture polish. An awesomely 'antique', I was about to add 'Turkish' nose
restaurant Palate
totally coherent, just even more on beeswax and resinous dried fruits, small figs, dates, prickly pear chips. There's a lot of honey, touches of cedarwood, and indeed once again something oriental, rather more towards mint tea this time. With pine nuts inside, please!
timer Finish
medium, honeyed and waxy, with very moderate woodiness and a little orange wine in the aftertaste. I'm not talking about skin-contact white wine, I'm talking about wine made out of orange, mind you. Resinous and mentholy aftertaste
