Bunnahabhain 2006 SMWS 10.111

Nose: fruity, sweet. White sugar, white rum, mixed fruits (red apples, pears, green grapes), hint of lime juice. Something malty beneath it all, with a hint of salt.

Taste: fruity, sweet, spicy. Quite a kick on arrival, then white sugar, and mixed fruits. Refreshing, moreish, and simple. Nose is better than taste.

Finish: short on apples with lime juice.

Objectively speaking, it's a nice simple fruity Bunna, can't really offend anyone, and most people should happily be able to drink it.

However, the price is obscene, asking 725DKK/97€/85£/111$ is just plain daylight robbery.
If the price had been better, I'd have happily given it 82/100, cause it's a solid daily dram, but as it is, I'll subtract 10 points.

SMWS tasting notes: We found ourselves on board an old fashioned boat under full sail, wooden deck, slightly tarry ropes and the salty sea breeze in our nostrils as we were received a lesson on celestial navigation using a marine sextant. As the sea got calmer we relaxed in
a hammock chair and got served a Hemingway Daiquiri, of white rum, fresh grapefruit and lime juice, Maraschino liqueur and syrup. With water the sun appeared from behind the clouds and after freshening up with some dusty rose and lavender perfume, we enjoyed the sunset with a bowl of Bombay mix and a lemon basil ginger Martini.

Drinking tip: Being on, or dreaming of, a sailing adventure
