Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
unsurprisingly, this is close to the Wilson & Morgan, although the musty/minty and even a tad piny notes are there right from the start. It’s also a little more on fresh garden fruits with, for example, notes of butter pears that are rarely to be found in such old glories in my experience. More and more honeydew after a while. A lot of honeydew! Also whiffs of ‘old books in the attic.’ Nutshell: no wham-bam old Bunnahabhain, but old Bunnahabhains aren’t often wham-bam, are they?
restaurant Palate
it’s a little softer than the W&M despite a higher strength, and a little fruitier as well. The oak is also more ‘normal’ and less minty/piny, while there’s also more honey and dried fruits (figs, longans). What’s quite impressive is that the whole is absolutely tireless and still very vibrant
timer Finish
long, still a bit softer than the W&M
