Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
yes! No weakness, no over-woodiness, rather a superb herbal/fruity development, between many teas and fruits (you kid me not?) Verbena, overripe apples, fresh mint, praline, brioche, kugelhopf, then something more tropical, mangos… Isn’t it funny that in the 1960s, and as we’ve found out several times already, Bunnahabhain was sharing some traits with Bowmore?
restaurant Palate
this almost very old cognac! Superb peaches stewed in mint sauce and served on some kind of cake, with hints of oriental pastries (orange blossom and honey) and almond biscuits. Some precious black tea
timer Finish
medium, amazingly fresh, and just a tad oaky now, which is totally normal at 44. Tobacco and soft spices, a drop of Chartreuse
