Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 기울여 흔들면 아일라 부나하벤의 1976년 빈티지가 깊은 호박빛으로 잔 벽에 긴 다리를 남긴다. 코끝을 가져가면 짭조름한 바닷바람 위로 잘 익은 과일과 밀랍, 오래된 오크의 그윽한 향이 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 48.8도의 잔잔한 힘 위로 꿀과 무화과, 미네랄이 매끄럽게 흐른다. 잔을 내려놓아도 35년 세월이 빚은 부드러운 소금기와 깊은 단맛이 혀끝에 머문다.
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
