Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

a lighter style of sherry, and thus more Bunnahabhain character, on citrus, honey and a discreet coastal breeze. Plenty of praline and blond turrón. With water: malt, ale, oranges, honey – what more could one ask for?

restaurant Palate

very, very good, distinguished, on citrus and honey, with those maritime touches returning. No need for literary flourishes (literary?), this is just excellent. With water: superb, with very subtle salty and coastal nuances, not far from tinned sardines. After all, there is a fisherman on the official label, isn’t there? We agree, perhaps he’s not a fisherman but rather any sailor ‘westering home’

timer Finish

long, even saltier, quite remarkable
