Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
oh, this is interesting! There are many fruits again but also an added layer of mineral and earthy tones that add much depth. Apples and gentian roots, pears and moss, peaches and pipe tobacco, coconut and leather... Also mangos, touches of smoke, maybe earthy celeriac? Very fine!
restaurant Palate
it's the fruity side that took over on the palate, and this time it's very citrusy, with plenty of blood oranges, then grapefruits and a fistful of fresh hazelnuts. Big fruits! Very lovely, and there's even a little salt starting to show after a few minutes, which makes it kind of coastal. Well, more coastal than other old Bunnahabhains, did it mature at the distillery?
timer Finish
long, clean, zesty and zingy. Just what the doctor ordered (you can do better, S.)
