Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
올로로소 셰리 버트가 1975년 부나하번을 48년이라는 긴 시간 길들인 결과가 잔 안에 짙게 자리한다. 향에서는 잘 익은 건포도와 호두, 묵은 가죽이 또렷이 깃들어 있고 캐스크의 흔적인 발사믹 같은 산미가 뒤따른다. 입에서는 무화과 잼과 정향, 다크 초콜릿이 입을 묵직하게 채운다. 50.2도의 균형이 단단하고 아일라 북부 특유의 짭조름한 미네랄이 깊게 머문다. 짙은 마호가니색이 잔에 깊게 비친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
it must be admitted that an additional 8 or 9 degrees of alcohol can change a lot of things. Here we are firmly in the territory of an old cognac. Baked peach, sultanas, dried apricots, hints of menthol, a tiny bit of aniseed, then apple compote and quince tart, followed by very ripe damsons... All this parades by quite magnificently. With a drop of water: it moves even closer to an old cognac, quite spectacularly
restaurant Palate
yes, here we bow down, even if, or perhaps because there's a kind of brutality, charred wood, burnt cakes, carbonised nuts... And we love it! (he's crazy). With a drop of water: everything falls into line, the old cognac is back. But this global feeling might stem from the fact that we taste much more very old cognacs than very old malts. I mean, really old ones. It's really very good but be careful in a blind tasting!
timer Finish
the old wood stands out more but the whole remains gentle, quite fruity, and moderate in terms of spices. Lovely bitter oranges and quinaquina in the aftertaste. Oddly, black pepper comes in right at the very end
