Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, this one’s even fresher, and certainly more maritime than the Element of Islay. Tangerines and sea breeze, candle wax, fresh-rolled Indonesian cigarettes, kelp, sloe, lemongrass… Love this, really do. With water: just very perfect. Reminds me of when I bought my first pack of cigarettes, some Camels, in the city of Dusseldorf, while I was 12. They were having vending machines in the streets, I would have never dared asking for a pack of cigarettes in a shop! Anyway, I never smoked those cigarettes, but boy did I nose them! But why am I telling you all this?
restaurant Palate
simply amazing, with a wee smokiness, overripe apples, pink grapefruits, hawthorn tea, fresh hazelnuts, nocino (green walnuts liqueur)… And echoes of the older official 12, which was really marvellous back in the early 1990s. Honeyed nuts, praline, heather and all that. With water: exceptionally complex, slightly peaty and very nutty. So very Bunny!
timer Finish
long, firm, roasted, nutty, honeyed…
