Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

some rather bold whiffs of smoke right from the start, but also quite some freshness. Bold notes of marzipan and ginger tonic, almond milk, praline, nougat. Really youthful, quite curiously, developing on apricot pie and peppered apple compote, nutmeg… Getting slightly sour, with some vase water notes and beer but it remains clean. Hints of cooked cabbage, wet hay, seaweed, hot butter… And quite some smoke again (fireplace, not bonfire). Complex and very ‘contemplative’ but not bold. Rather delicate, I’d say

restaurant Palate

sweet and spicy attack, with quite some body but also kind of a sugary laziness. Lots of nougat and orgeat syrup but also lots of tannins, vanilla… Lavender crème, violet candies, mastic Turkish delights… Something very waxy. Cocoa powder and cinnamon, white pepper, sugared strong tea… Funny how tannic it is, whilst remaining perfectly enjoyable. The finish isn’t too long but enjoyable, on cough candies and paraffin. In short, not a total thrill but a very good old Bunnahabhain. 86 points . Bunnahabhain 1974/2005 (46%, Berry Bros & Rudd, casks #11534-11536)
