Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it's a fairly mineral one at first nosing, it's even a little chalky. Quite some grass too, clay, then more walnuts, cigarette tobacco and leaves, probably from the sherry. Nice but a little too dry at this point, lacking the kind of subtle and fruity... er, fruitiness that old Bunnahabhains often display

restaurant Palate

slightly rough but there's more happening now. A kind of rather spicy sherriness, with some burnt raisins, toasted bread, blackcurrant leaves or buds, then more chocolate. Maybe prunes as well... yeah, prunes

timer Finish

rather long, with this chalkiness again and then more bitters, cinchona, bitter oranges
