A more than successful finish. It is precisely the fact that, in addition to the "pleasant" sherry notes, it also provides somewhat bulky aromas such as cellar todder and fermented grapes, makes it a really good and exciting whisky.

An all-round successful Bunna, which unfortunately has too little importance. Mainly because it is currently available at the original price from the distilleries. Absolute insider tip

Salted caramel and a nutty sweet profile mixed with chocolate dark fruits and raisins. This is good and yet another finished Bunnahabhain that is worth searching out.

With a color like dark amber, the Bunnahabhain lies in the glass. A two-year finish in an Amontillado Sherry Hogshead arouses curiosity and I'm excited to see what this sample will offer me.

In the nose I immediately have a very pleasant spicy sweetness and fruitiness. Sweet dates, raisins, plum jam, boiled dark fruits and the sour freshness of currants and lemon zest combine with marzipan, maple syrup and chocolate. The chocolate moves more in the whole milk than in the dark area. This aroma game is accompanied by a strong spiciness and herbs. Cinnamon, roasted hazelnuts and a hint of leather, tobacco and forest floor complete the aromas. A great nose, I really have to say that!

In the mouth with a strong start, a peppery taste and a little ginger heat ... in addition a more subtle sweetness and fruitiness than in the nose, which spread in the mouth and combine wonderfully with the spiciness. The tannins on tap have an astringent effect, the whole milk chocolate now becomes darker and merges into the dark area. Leather, tobacco, damp forest floor and a hint of salt provide a great counterpoint to the sweetness and fruitiness. The whisky is convincing on the palate, but not as exciting as the aroma when smelling.

The finish is spicy with black pepper, some licorice, dark chocolate that tends towards coffee, raisins and chewed walnuts. Everything was drizzled with a little honey and sprinkled with a few crumbs of salt. Leather, old furniture and a little moldy forest floor are noticeable. This slightly moldy note bothers me a little. I would describe the finish as medium to long. The tannins in particular stay in the mouth a little longer. A very dry mouthfeel ... if you don't like that, you won't be thrilled here.

In total there are 88/100 points from me. A great whisky that for the most part fully met my expectations. The musty note in the finish bothers me. Although this is very subtle, it ensures that I cannot give 89 points in total.

a strong flavor whisky
that's fun

something to whine on a high level:
slight weaknesses in the mouth (at times alcoholic note)
the playing of the notes is slightly bumpy
and the sherry barrel is a little too dominant
