Is it Christmas already? There's an abundance of fruitcake, but with all the Bunnahabhain elegance reminiscent of legendary bottles like 'Auld Acquaintance' (now, that was a splendid name!). Exquisite notes of blackcurrant buds followed by indeed figs and dates, candied bananas, cooked caramel, toffee, Mars bars as if prepared by a three-star chef, spruce honey, teriyaki beef jerky, and gianduja... Well, it's simply perfect. With water: it turns more herbal, more resinous. Propolis and beeswax
restaurant Palate
what can I say. Honeys, chocolates, toffees, caramels, plus coastal notes, dried apricots, cured meats, sweet liquorice, candied citrus, roasted peanuts, old Demerara rum... With water: beeswax and rancio (think Rivesaltes, Malaga, Banyuls…) now come to the fore
timer Finish
long, balanced, not overwhelming, almost fresh, with orange lingering in the aftertaste
