Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
a very big fruitiness here, with notes of tangerines and mangos, and even a little passion fruit that reminds us of some of its cousins from the shore of the Loch Indaal. Also a little orange honey for a while, and then litres of fresh orange juice. Very pleasant hints of roasted nuts and toasted bread complement the whole. A beautiful nose for sure, even if it doesn’t quite speak ‘Bunnahabhain’. Slight dustiness just like in the 1976
restaurant Palate
in the keeping with the nose, which is great news. Oranges, marmalade, mango chutney, honeydew and quince jelly. Quite superb I must say. Shifts towards bigger oakiness and spiciness (cinnamon, ginger and cloves) after a few seconds in the mouth but the excellent fruity notes do remain, which makes the whole very compact and precise. Very excellent, even if it gets a little tired and dry at a certain point
timer Finish
not too long, alas, and much drier now (orange peel, grape skin)
