Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북쪽 해안 둔 강 하구에 선 부나하번은 피트를 절제한 채 바다 내음을 머금는 독특한 아일라 몰트다. 1976년 증류해 35년을 보낸 이 빌라콘토르 보틀링은 잔에 깊은 호박빛을 띤다. 향에는 말린 과일과 짭조름한 해풍, 호두가 어우러지고, 입에서는 48.8도의 원숙한 술이 토피와 묵은 과일, 옅은 소금기로 부드럽게 번진다. 여운은 가죽과 견과의 단맛을 길게 남긴다.
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
