Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
the opposite of the 1980 as far as complexity is concerned, this one is straight and rather ‘full’ but certainly not too oaky/gingery. Starts on notes of banana skin and cut grass (make that hay), something like overripe apples (faint sourness), then hints of old rancio (unexpected in a new oak matured whisky) and butter and finally something like a vanilla sauce indeed. In any case, not one of these dreaded ‘new style vanilla bombs’. Alas, gets a little ‘plankish’ after fifteen minutes (sawdust)
restaurant Palate
well, I don’t think it works too well now. Big oaky notes, ginger, nutmeg and white pepper, with just hints of Bunnahabhain’s usual character. Too many spices from the wood for our taste
timer Finish
long but drying and chalky
