Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 부나하벤 특유의 견과 향과 셰리 캐스크가 더한 건과일 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 비피트 아일라 몰트답게 22년 숙성을 거치며 건포도와 호두, 옅은 소금기가 또렷이 발전한다. 53.2도의 팰럿은 진한 검은 과일과 부드러운 오크가 어우러지며 균형이 단단하다. 해안가 증류소다운 짭조름한 셰리 여운이 길게 이어지며 묵직하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
once again, same territories. Chocolate, jams, earth (again, slight sulphur), tobacco and a little feeling of 'new plastic', or rather brand new car - with leather seats, mind you. With water: new tyres ;-). Seriously, there is something sulphury and tarry but it's really and asset in this context. Also a nice balsamico again
restaurant Palate
it's big and rich, not exactly refined, but it works. Arak, other oriental liqueurs and spirits, dried figs, ginger cake, limoncello… With water: cask strength orange marmalade ;-) and a few green spices. Certainly cardamom!
timer Finish
quite long, coating, with more ginger. Greenish aftertaste, loses one or two points here (Jaegermeister or even Underberg)
