Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
probably some subtle sherry at play, it's all rather bready, rounded, gently earthy, mineral and with rather a lot of peanuts - for many years I've been finding peanuts in Bunnahabhain - beyond that there's sandalwood, gorse and a little hessian. Feels rather firm and rugged in a positive way. With water: chocolate, wet leaves, mixed nuts, cereals, bracken. An impression of petrichor and damp forests which I'm always a fan of
restaurant Palate
indeed, leathery, slightly creamy and nutty sherry with smaller notes of chocolate, cocoa powder, milky cornflakes and rapeseed oil. Feels like a rather industrial and muscular whisky, which shouldn't be surprising and Bunnahabhain is no big jessie! Some caramel and coffee now too. With water: toasted brown bread with butter, samphire, stout beer, other old school bitter ales, malt loaf and a dollop of Nutella
timer Finish
medium and again rather earthy, bready, chocolatey and nicely bitter and beery
