Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
엑스 셰리 호그스헤드에서 마흔세 해를 보낸 1967년 부나하벤이 깊은 시간의 흔적을 향과 맛에 또렷이 새긴다. 향은 묵은 가죽과 마른 무화과, 옅은 카카오로 풀려나간다. 입에서는 검은 차와 호두, 묵은 토피가 매끄럽게 미끄러지듯 흐르고 40.5도의 낮은 알코올이 단정하게 정돈된다. 깊은 호박빛이 잔에 깊이 비치고 여운에는 마른 오크와 짠 미네랄이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
it’s interesting that we aren’t too far from the MoS despite the different kinds of casks. Having said that, this one starts more right on honey and beeswax, and probably also on more stewed fruits, including tropical ones. Rather unusual hints of dried litchis and even Chinese litchi liqueur, then cured ham with pineapples as well as a little incense, mentholated cigarette (Kool?) and plain fresh mint. It’s a rather demonstrative nose, very appealing, with a sherry that’s pretty discreet so far. Less oak than in the bourbon version
restaurant Palate
just like with the bourbon version, there’s some kind of gentle fight between the oak and the rest, the palate’s profile being more or less identical to the nose’s. Tropical fruits jam, mango chutney, bitter oranges, then more black pepper… Once again, no specific sherryness as far as I can tell, but the oak gets slightly louder after a while
timer Finish
rather long and more and more on heavily infused herbal teas, such as hawthorn and rosehip. More pepper, cloves and mint-flavoured liquorice in the aftertaste
