Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북부 해안에 자리한 부나하벤은 무피트 전통으로 짭조름하면서도 부드러운 개성을 지녔다. 35년을 보낸 짙은 금빛 잔에서 잘 익은 과일과 견과, 바다 소금의 향이 우아하게 피어난다. 입에서는 오랜 숙성이 빚어낸 열대 과일과 꿀, 은은한 소금기가 매끄럽게 흐른다. 48.8도의 도수가 오래된 위스키의 둥근 질감을 살린다. 과일과 소금기의 여운이 잔잔히 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
fresh and rather on melons this time, with also notes of beeswax, tomato leaves, and perhaps a little putty. A little bread too, praline, leaves, fruit peelings… We're somehow in the middle of somewhere here, which is not an unpleasant feeling at all, this baby's just a little hard to describe and to pin down. Whisky for Alice in in Wonderland
restaurant Palate
same feeling, with bitter oranges, sweet chili pepper liqueur (the name escapes me, ah yes, Ruby Blue)…Also mead and custard, nougat, bergamots, banana wine, a dryness that's reminiscent of fino sherry, some green walnuts too, marzipan… It's just that it's a whisky that's not semantically correct, if you see what I mean. In other words, an outlaw
timer Finish
medium, a notch grassier. Banana skins, walnut skins, touch of turmeric, grapefruit skin… And there, those tomato leaves yet again. Very peculiar
