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

On the nose : medicinal haze (mint, camphor, ash), salty and oily smoke. Tiny bit of sweet notes in the distance : vanilla, riped red fruits. With time more nutty notes.
Taste : Ok that's a lot of ashes. Camphor again which gives a nice greasy feeling but the fresher mint notes are still to be found. Powerful and one-sided
Finish : Medium to long. Still a lot of ashes, spices. Camphor lingers on.

I liked the first Toiteach and expected a close profile. It is not. This one is way more on cold ashes and has no sweet aspect whatsoever . Actually I have never tasted a profile that ash-oriented before. Not to my liking but still feels nicely done.

6/10

Sherry with peat smoke and then a campfire with a nutty and plum - I think this Bunna is great!

Nose

90 90

light campfire smoke and peat smoke (felt to me maybe 10-15 ppm and present in the nose; according to "schubiweine.ch: mixture of 90% 40 ppm peat malt and 10% barley malted barley"); the sherry with a distinctive nut aroma and some oak flavor is dominant here. Behind it comes a scent of seaweed mixed with a salt breeze from the spray and a little bit of citrus freshness, which for me is more orange. Very nice!

Taste

86 86

First the nut aroma (almonds and hazelnuts) from the sherry arrives gently in the mouth, then comes a good portion of peppery seasoning with a (peat) smoke pushed behind. Then it turns into a chocolate note - tendency towards dark chocolate. The sherry aroma with raisins (weaker) and plum (stronger) remains with the smoke for a long time.

Finish

85 85

medium to long. Sherry and smoke (now more campfire character) remain, as well as a light spice and some oak. Overall warming the throat.

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.
