Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 부나하벤 특유의 비피트 해안 향과 셰리 버트의 마른 과일이 함께 두드러진다. 1978년 증류해 40년을 보낸 만큼 견과와 가죽, 옅은 소금기가 깊게 발전한다. 51.6도의 도수에서 입은 건포도 단맛과 호두, 미네랄이 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 셰리와 짭조름한 향으로 길게 남는다. 40년 묵은 부나하벤다운 매끄러운 구조감이 또렷하게 정리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
rather austere and on things like clay, overripe oranges, crushed nettles and aspirin. There's a medicinal side, a green side and a rather tough mineral aspect as well. I also find wee touches of things like shoe leather and plasticine. With water: fresher, livelier and more coastal - so also more classical as well. Still some slightly rough edges, but honest and pleasurable
restaurant Palate
big improvement! I find it far more obviously Bunnahabhain up front with these nicely salty peanut notes, salted honey, aged mead, camphor and putty. Also these nice simple green and orchard fruit vibes which I find very typically 'old Bunny'. With water: a little more peppery and dry, on sandalwood, a touch of carbolic acidity, more of these salted and dried out honey qualities, face cream and lanolin. A tiny cardboard note too
timer Finish
medium, drying, peppery and with a little nut oil and salinity
