Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the unpeated core malt from Bunnahabhain, on the bay at the north of Islay. Aged 12 years and bottled at 92.6 proof, it is a marriage of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, non-chill-filtered and naturally colored, so the spirit stays oily. Sherry brings dried fruit and nuts, bourbon casks bring vanilla and caramel, and the coastal warehouses leave sea salt in the glass. It is a regular distillery bottling.
Dried fruit, hazelnut and walnut, vanilla, and caramel keep returning, with tangerine and a thread of sea salt. The body is oily. A light woodsmoke trace shows up in some tastings of this unpeated malt. The finish is long, rich, and saline, drying a little at the end.
