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.

nose:
dry and gripping peat, a little iodized, lemon, seaweed at high tide, salt arriving, a little fruit on citrus
mouth:
the alcohol fire is quite young, then a pleasant sensation of smoke near the fire, a little fruit on the cooked tangerine, a little mold in return, peppery spices, the malt returns a little toasted, seaweed still in a little parched package.
Final:
fairly short, smoky, dry wood, fruit a little macerated at last.
simple, missing a bit of final.

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

A well-composed price-performance hit. However, this bottling is not suitable for everyone.
At most it touches my prey scheme lightly. I prefer smoke that is a bit more elegant and I have to get used to the fact that it is squeaky sweet on the palate.
Ardbeg and Ledaig lovers will definitely appreciate the Toiteach A Dhà.

Nose

83 83

First a full load of very sweet campfire smoke. The smoke is a bit acrid and goes more towards Ledaig than Lagavulin or Laphroaig, and is less elegant. The alcohol stings a bit in the nose at first and is not so well integrated. With increasing heat it gets better and the aroma gets a softer and warmer touch.
After a while, further aromas such as vanilla and oak spice emerge behind the smoke. The Oloroso barrels are initially not noticeable through fruit, but only through a sour note. Later, delicate cherry notes appear, as well as apple and pear (the ex-Bourbon barrels are more responsible for the latter).

Taste

84 84

Powerful, slightly oily and peppery. The alcohol makes itself felt a little. In addition to the strong presence of smoke, it has a strong sweetness that can also be found in some Ardbegs. In addition, vanilla, pineapple, damp wood, light bitterness and a little cherry

Finish

86 86

Medium to long. The smoke and sweetness stay longer.
Hups, someone threw a pineapple into the fire ...

This is nice, but like the Mòine did not live up to the Toiteach for me. I think I just liked the greater influence of the Bourbon casks that had.

Nose

88 88

Peaty with slight rubber/medicinal quality. Sweet woodiness/woody Sherry.

Taste

84 84

Real light into strongly peppery smoke. Thin.

Finish

87 87

Nutmeggy, spicy, green woody smoke.
