Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 부나하벤 특유의 짭조름한 바다향과 셰리 버트의 마른 과일이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1979년 증류해 20년을 채운 이 시그나토리 빈티지는 아일라답지 않은 절제된 피트 위에 셰리의 깊이가 더해진다. 55도의 도수는 팰럿에서 건포도와 호두, 옅은 미네랄을 또렷하게 밀어올리며 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 짭조름한 소금기와 마른 과일의 단맛이 깊게 머물러, 올드 부나하벤의 원숙한 균형을 명확하게 드러낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
heavy oloroso, so strong that the whisky’s almost smoky (no gunpowder though). Also huge notes of Havana cigars, old balsamic vinegar, Spanish ham, overripe Zwetchke and very old Bourgogne, between civet cat and Russian leather (well what ought to be Russian leather according to wine freaks). Definitely some rancio and quite some vin jaune after that, old walnut liqueur, old Swiss cheese… It’s quite extreme in this style ‘but I like it’, even if poor old Bunnahabhain doesn’t have much to say in this heavy context. With water: it’s Banyuls or old ‘drying’ PX, not quite whisky ;-)
restaurant Palate
fruitier, zestier, more chocolaty and even more raisiny. Some kind of reduced jam mix, all very extreme. With water: excellent, fruitier. Not without making us think of some old sherried Glendronach
timer Finish
quite long, a little fresher and more lively? Mulled red wine and orange juice
