Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
rather austere and on things like clay, overripe oranges, crushed nettles and aspirin. There's a medicinal side, a green side and a rather tough mineral aspect as well. I also find wee touches of things like shoe leather and plasticine. With water: fresher, livelier and more coastal - so also more classical as well. Still some slightly rough edges, but honest and pleasurable
restaurant Palate
big improvement! I find it far more obviously Bunnahabhain up front with these nicely salty peanut notes, salted honey, aged mead, camphor and putty. Also these nice simple green and orchard fruit vibes which I find very typically 'old Bunny'. With water: a little more peppery and dry, on sandalwood, a touch of carbolic acidity, more of these salted and dried out honey qualities, face cream and lanolin. A tiny cardboard note too
timer Finish
medium, drying, peppery and with a little nut oil and salinity
