Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 깊은 황금빛 술이 잔 벽을 따라 매끄럽게 흘러내린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 피트를 쓰지 않은 부나하벤답게 잘 익은 과일과 견과, 옅은 바다 소금 향이 어우러진다. 한 모금 머금으면 35년의 숙성이 빚은 둥근 질감 위로 말린 과일과 꿀, 가벼운 미네랄이 흐른다. 실버 씰이 병입한 이 아일라 몰트는 46.5도에서 노숙의 부드러운 깊이와 짭조름한 개성을 함께 드러낸다. 삼키고 나면 과일과 소금기의 기운이 혀끝에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
this is more old-school than the House of Lords. Not talking about the Scotch whisky. Prunes, old cognac, dates, chocolate, figs, whiffs of moss and old pine wood, a few mushrooms and a little liquorice, plus a few roasted nuts, especially pecans
restaurant Palate
we're deeply reminded of some old Speyside malts by G&M. Like pre-war, bottled in the 1970s and 1980s. It is a time machine! More bouillons, chocolate, pipe tobacco, liquorice, truffles, puréed chestnuts, pears poached in Sauternes, very old Sauternes, very old Malaga… It is definitely very 'antique'. I would love to watch young whisky enthusiasts tasting this whisky, or similar whiskies, for the very first time. It would undoubtedly be a real revelation, as they are becoming so rare
timer Finish
rather long, rather sublime to tell you the truth
