Nose

On the nose a lot of vanilla with light fruits like nectarines and grapefruit. Without smoke. If then very weak. Alcohol is ingestible. Later bright grape notes.

Taste

No burning on the tongue but slightly behind the palate. oily character. Light seasoning and Kreuter. In later Schlücken then slight tingling on the tongue. Staying bright and voluminous.

Finish

Sweet spice in the finish. With longer lasting fresh oak.

a great mature, wonderfully balanced Bunna, old style - a gentle giant

Nose

Vineyard peach, mirabelle plum, blossom honey, blooming flower and herb meadow in the mountains, applesauce, light maritime approaches

Taste

very mild, no trace of alcohol - lots of honey (high-proof-mead?), fully ripe mirabelle, custard, a hint of smoke can be heard

Finish

in spite of his gentleness very long, warming

Nose

citrus-y malt sweetness +, vanilla beans +/o, gravel/concrete o, mushroom-y o, cookie dough o, peat o, leather o/-, (90)

A bit later: quite a few coastal notes now: salt & seabreeze, more leather, more citrus, some tobacco o, fresh sweat o/-, kelp - (93)

Taste

big malt flavours froma bourbon cask with a coastal touch. Very compact, complex & hard to pick apart. If I had to give it a try - again malt, citrus, a touch of wood and smoke, salt. (92)

Finish

Slowly easing out. No surprises in the tail, but very very pleasant & satisfying for me. (90)

Nose

A mix of fingernail polish, green apples, orange peel, glue and light flowers. Additionally, some notes of honey and smoke. Also hints of oak.

Taste

It´s lightly sweet with hints of biscuits, hot spices, pepper, honey and light peat as well.

Finish

Long, rather hot with white pepper and dryness.

Very good Ex-Bourbon Bunna.

Nose

Mellow and fruity. Honey, vanilla, oranges and hints of peat - a very pleasant combination.

Taste

Smooth - white mousse with caramel, lots of honey and tea, alienated by peat and a few spices. Clean and tasty.

Finish

Long and pleasant, becoming more spicy.
