Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 적갈색이 잔 속에서 그윽하게 일렁인다. 세컨드필 올로로소 버트에서 마흔다섯 해를 보낸 이 부나하벤은 말린 과일과 가죽, 옅은 바다 내음이 깊게 어우러진다. 한 모금 머금으면 호두와 무화과 단맛, 묵은 오크의 향이 부드럽게 번진다. 42.6도의 도수가 긴 세월에 둥글어진 질감을 한없이 매끄럽게 만든다. 짭조름함과 마른 과일의 여운이 길게 머물며 반세기에 가까운 시간을 조용히 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
office coffee
air Nose
well, it's not so dominant after all, and ultimately not immensely different from the 'refill' version. Naturally, there are more sultanas, toffee, as well as treacle toffee, but all this remains gentle and extremely sophisticated. Even the orchard apples make a noteworthy comeback. There are also pinecones
restaurant Palate
once again, it's not immensely different from its brother, but let's not forget that it's the same distillery and the same vintage. A bit more coffee, old armagnac, chocolate, and marmalade, with once more a presence of pine wood, as well as very dark tea, in the style of Black Assam. In the end, it is quite different and certainly a bit less delicate on the palate than its brother
timer Finish
we always fear that these old glories may crumble at this stage, but that's not the case. Medium length and a superb dark chocolate. The Black Assam makes a return in the aftertaste
