Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 담긴 빛은 따뜻한 호박빛으로 깊게 감돈다. 1987년 증류된 부나하벤 27년은 아일라답지 않게 절제된 부드러움을 보여준다. 향에는 꿀과 말린 과실, 옅은 소금기와 견과가 어우러져 올라오고, 그 아래로 오크와 가죽이 비친다. 입에서는 토피와 건포도, 바닷바람의 미네랄이 매끄럽게 흐르며 49.1도의 도수가 둥글게 받친다. 끝맛에는 마른 과실과 짭조름한 오크의 여운이 길게 이어지며 천천히 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
ah, it’s a fresh one, more on fruits than on chocolate or nuts, with a solid earthy and beachy base, and only a mild honeyed background. That means than it’s rather fresher and cleaner than the ‘average’ old Bunnahabhain. What I particularly enjoy is this chartreuse-y side that arises after a while, these notes of verbena, vetiver, mustard, cherry stems… It’s a very complex one
restaurant Palate
excellent, fruits, apples, kiwis, drops of pisco, Muscat, gooseberries… It’s all very fresh, and I especially like these touches of fresh walnuts. After ten minutes, oranges rule the whole thing. Orange squash, tangerines, a wee saltiness, brine… I find it Dagueneau-esque. Wine freaks will understand what I mean
timer Finish
not too long, but exceptionally clean, fruity, zesty… And the aftertaste is a bit smoky. Smoky green bananas?
