Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북동쪽 부나하벤 해안의 짠 안개가 이 위스키 곳곳에 새겨져 있다. 1989년산 25년이 잔에는 옅은 황금빛으로 잠겨 있고, 향에는 비누 같은 깨끗함과 바다 소금, 백도의 청량함이 함께 올라온다. 입에서는 시트러스 껍질과 살짝 구운 곡물, 매끈한 바닐라 크림이 차례로 드러나고 45.9도의 절제된 도수는 짠 미네랄과 마른 풀 같은 미세한 흔적으로 입을 채운다. 부드럽고 차가운 해안의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
starts a little strange, kind of ‘cheesy’ and winey at the same time. Isn’t there more sherry than in earlier versions? Or is this one from fresher casks? Goes on with a lot of chocolate, bags or heavily roasted malt and, maybe a little too much struck matches. Yes, sulphur. Also blackcurrant buds. Was this baby ‘finished’? Very unlikely but you never know…
restaurant Palate
same feeling but this is rounder and fruitier. Again, the wine is loud and Bunnahabhain’s usual honeyed and delicately raisiny style doesn’t really shine through. Having said that, it’s very pleasant and gets maltier by the minute, before our beloved ‘Bunny’ starts to come out indeed. Quite some orange marmalade, honey, sultanas… And a nice saltiness
timer Finish
not very long but clean and (even) more on dried fruits, sweet, the ‘winey’ wine influence having become much more discreet as such. A little salt again in the aftertaste
