Conclusion and pictures on: https://tomtrinkt.de

Nose

Heavy smoke (flaming campfire) and a salty sea breeze take over the command immediately. The aromatic intensity is considerable, I honestly did not expect that in the form. Sweet fruit notes gradually penetrate the initially dominant smoke of the wild Islay malts. Salty caramel, gentle sweet sherry notes, dried orange peel, lemons and blueberries follow. Strong spices (nutmeg & cloves), oak and dried tobacco leaves are mixed with smoke and fruity notes. Pleasantly complex!

Taste

Soft and full-bodied onset. The Bunnahabhain rekindles a blazing bonfire and a fine sea breeze. The Sherrynoten gain in taste in presence and dominance. Overripe apples, orange peel, grapefruit, raisins and sugared wild berries create a sweet and fruity contrast. Christmas spices, salty caramel, dark chocolate, spicy oak and fine tobacco notes complete the harmonious taste. The alcohol content (46.3%) fits very well into the overall picture. I renounce the addition of water.

Finish

Medium to long, smoky-spicy and warm. The Sherrynoten now give way to the more ashen smoke and clear traces of pepper, salt and chocolate. Strong oak notes, Christmas spices and tobacco let the Bunnahabhain slowly fade away. A slight dryness remains on the palate.

But hello, he can do something. That's when I thought that was just another of those "okay" bunna no age statements. But no. He has depth and character and gets out back not thin and boring, but holds beautiful long the variety of aromas of the nose and tongue upright. At the price - you really can not complain.

Nose

88 88

A pleasantly restrained smoky note that draws with a touch of dried apricots, peaches and raisins in the nose. Sherry aromas follow after a while, as do caramel and honey. Spicy wood, a little tree resin and pepper complete the picture.

Taste

87 87

Cool peat smoke, more intense on the tongue than in the nose. Dry from the beginning. Sherry aromas, some Kellermoder and an impression of damp wood give it depth. Cloves, nutmeg and pepper crowd in. Also a little licorice and menthol resonate. Nougat chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, leather.

Finish

87 87

Medium long, dry. In the finish he continues to show the flavors of the tongue. Although in a weakened form, but as a whole they are still there. Anything but one-dimensional.

no club
looks gentle and older
that could do more but the menthol note kills a lot

Nose

Walnut shells in red wine water
At first, the nose barely opens
then comes incense, menthol, smoke rather in the background as a clue
the nose looks cool and smooth
Later come warm walnut notes, dark caramel with chocolate topping like the "Giant Candy" and again frankincense

Taste

smooth and cool at the start
Menthol immediately, Tanine
cool and yet warm
Slowly, smoke and heat develop in the oral cavity
Resin, wood, dark liquorice, chocolate and sugar
Honey water on the palate, very sweet, but a natural-tasting sweetness

Finish

nice finish
long
Baked apple juice and barrel flavors
Coffee and caramel

What a charming little youngster this Bunny! If you're a cheapskate on a budget like yours truly, you might find it a good bfyb. Excuse the ambassador-y musings.
Nose: the peat smoke is not the most "Islay", but here that isn't a lapse for me. We're getting walnuts, pecans, caramel and an array of other pastry notes. It seems some fortunate sherry cask got involved.
Taste: In one word? Fat. Featuring sweet, bitter and salty notes in that order. So, ballanced, let's say. More maritime than the nose. Raw cocoa beans could sum it up.
Finish: Long, simple, but profound. Wet ropes, coffee, earthy notes, dry sootiness.

A very, very nice whisky with a delightful nose, and while the taste and finish don't quite reach that level, they're nevertheless still very good to say the least.

Nose

88 88

a well integrated combination of sherry and smokey notes are the first things you notice. Behind that, there's a world of flavours opening up: woody, vanilla, herbal (sage) and a little minerally - irony notes. An extra few minutes in and the nose opens up even further with berries and red grapes. Simply wonderfull: so much to explore and to discover without ever being overwhelming or overly busy. A class act!

Taste

86 86

A little less versatile than the nose, but very well balanced, with a soft woody note taking centre stage. There's more fruit going on here, followed by some ashy smoke.

Finish

86 86

Long and a bit sharp initially. Peat and smoke lead the way with a prominent ashy note towards a more gentle, softer, fruity touch. Just as the finish fades out, it turns around once more with a subtle smokey touch that hangs around.

For this amount of money. I can't complain. It needs some time to open up but great.
Nose:
ashy,a hint of sherry and the typical Nordic Seaish nose.
Taste:
is a little watery but still sweet and well balanced. Pea is what I get here as well. better than most of the other NAS ones by Bunnahabhain.

N- Easily likable sweet malty scents with savoury smokes, rosewater, soft and mild nature with candy and grassy overcoat. Get ashier overtime, but nose dive after a while. (85/19)

P- Tangy with touch of sour fruits, just ripe pineapple that still with plenty of prickly fruit acid. Gingery, mildly spicy with burst of sweet smokes. (86/20)

F- Medium-long, pale, may be a wee hollow initially. Smooth, grassy with satisfying smog of peat smokes and hint of garden salts. (86/20)

B/B- 86/20

Weighted Rate:- 79pt

86 points on average?

Why on earth would you buy this if you can buy an Ardbeg 10, Caol Ila 12 or even a 5 y old Kilchoman Sanaig for the same money?

This industry is getting mad. Rubbish NAS whisky for 40 Pounds.

By the way I have blended the Arran 12 Master II with this one and on both sites it became a better whisky. So if you buy 2 not so good whisky, just blend it. Or if you have a bad whisky, blend it with a good one.
