Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 리필 셰리 버트에서 50년을 거친 아일라 부나하벤 1968의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안쪽을 천천히 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 묵은 꿀과 말린 무화과, 짭조름한 바닷내의 향이 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 41.8%의 도수에도 50년이라는 시간이 풍부한 셰리의 단맛과 옅은 가죽, 약간의 바다 미네랄로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 반세기 숙성이 남긴 깊은 잔향이 입천장에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold/copper
air Nose
there’s a fleeting nibble of wood and furniture polish but the dominant initial impression is one of expensive honeys, beeswax, pollens and nectar. Notes of lychee in syrup, kumquat, orange cocktail bitters and hessian. Parts of this really recall older Bunna bottlings such as the immense Auld Acquaintance, just without the same heft of sherry. Develops some notes of plum wine, treacle and old leather. The nose is really harmonious and beautiful, but, as with so many older malts: the proof will be on the palate
restaurant Palate
lots of crystallised fruits, hessian, sandalwood, salty notes of marmite and toasted walnuts. The texture is surprisingly full for the low abv. Notes of quince, various dark fruit jams, sultana, some salted caramel. Pretty superb and surprisingly fresh really. Some lemon cordial, mint tea and herbal bitters
timer Finish
long, wonderfully resinous, salty, herbal and full of light tobaccos, menthol and stewed fruits
