Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
손안에서 잔을 굴리면 짙은 호박빛이 두껍게 감돈다. 향을 들이마시면 리필 셰리 캐스크에서 42년 익은 1968년 부나하벤의 건포도와 짭조름한 갯내, 오래된 가죽 향이 깊게 어우러진다. 한 모금 머금으면 반세기에 가까운 시간이 빚은 둥근 단맛이 혀를 감싸고 말린 과일과 호두, 소금기가 번진다. 삼키고 나면 묵직한 셰리와 바다 향이 입안 깊이 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
beautiful! Well in the style of some other old lightly sherried Bunnies (or Glenlivets, or Caperdonichs), with this perfect combination of melliferous flowers (don’t laugh!) and ripe, juicy fruits. Plums, honey and then something flinty, mineral and slightly grassy. Quite some mead as well, orange squash, touches of cinchona, tonic water… It’s all very lively, a venerable whisky that hasn’t bowed its head yet, far from that. After a few minutes, more notes of fern and fresh mint leaves wit a faint mustiness, much pleasant here
restaurant Palate
great! The fruitiness strikes first ad the oak comes only in tiny waves, with no tannic burst at all (which can happen with such old whiskies). The combination gives us notes of bitter oranges (and orange blossom water), spearmint, ginger, mint-flavoured marshmallows (sort of), marzipan and a little Cointreau
timer Finish
long and rather more herbal (Jägermeister), with more pepper in the aftertaste
