Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 황금빛이 잔 안에서 강렬한 광택을 띤다. 1947년 부나하벤이 증류한 원액을 27년 숙성한 후 매튜 글로그가 퓨어 아일레이 몰트로 1975년에 풀어낸 이 보틀링은 옛 부나하벤이 비공식적으로 보여준 강렬한 야성을 응축한다. 향에서는 잘 익은 사과와 짭짤한 미네랄, 그을린 보리와 옅은 페놀이 어우러지고 한 모금 머금으면 무려 90.5도라는 극단의 강도가 보리 시럽의 진한 단맛과 옅은 후추, 그리고 사라진 시대의 침묵을 차례로 풀어낸다. 단단한 골격이 길게 머문다.

air Nose
of course Bunnahabhain during this era was - like all Islay makes at the time - peated. Here is shows in abundance and in fact it kind of speaks with a Bowmore accent as there’s many subtle fruits emerging alongside this extremely elegant, coastal peat smoke profile. Seawater, pink grapefruit, lemon peel, guava and then tarred hessian, camphor and smoked sea salt with iodine drops. Medicines, pristine salinity, natural tar and many delicate coastal aspects underneath. Stunning complex and playful in the way it keeps on evolving. With water: fruits, fruits, fruits. But gently so, this sense of delicate and poised fruitiness composed of crystallised grapefruit, lime, kumquat and passion fruit
restaurant Palate
oh dear, this is incredible. The peat on the nose plays tricks with you and you could almost think it’s some top notch 60s Islay whisky, but here there’s no room for equivocating - this is something more old school altogether. The texture and the weight are incredible. Fat, glycerol peat, herbal, turfy smoke and an almost gelatinous medicinal quality. The fruits are also there but it’s more towards tangerines, grapefruit, blood orange and many rather sappy and herbal extract aspects, wintergreen, sandalwood and fir wood. With water: cohesion and perfection. All aligning on this extremely syrupy, textural collision of oily peat, herbal liqueurs, fruit syrups, cough medicines, wormwood and tiny flashes of wonderfully fresh salinity and coastal touches
timer Finish
long and extremely resinous, herbal, sooty, delicately peaty, smoky and medical. More crystallised fruits too
