Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old 0,70 ltr 46,3%

Erg prettige Islay whisky zonder hevige turf smaken. Mijn persoonlijke favoriet in de non-peated reeks. En super prijs-kwaliteit verhouding!

Nose: Sweet wine and peat. Fresh breeze of Islay air without the smoke. Malt and mild sherry notes.

Taste: Wine and sherry mix. Sweetness turns into nice spices.

Finish: Sweet wine and spices clash nicely. Salty.

Balance: Everything is in order. Very consistent dram that doesn't offer any surprises but is good all the way. Very subtle, was this really from Islay?

De favoriet van mijn vriendin, helaas hou ik heel erg graag van peat! Die is hierin een stuk minder aanwezig! Erg volwaardige whisky en voor een zeer net prijsje!

Nose
Spring flowers, raw cabbage, sour with some unripe apples and currant. Some raspberry candy, artificial banana and tea. After 20 minutes in the glass the scent of starch appear (freshly ironed shirt).

Taste
Creamy vanilla, again floral, with an oaky spiciness, nutmeg, sawdust, honey and black pepper.

Finish
medium in length, the unripe apples returns with the vanilla, a slight metal kind of note before an oaky pepperiness comes forward.

Comments
A good dram with plenty with of flavors. The metal note on the finish is unfortunately off-putting but the nose and the taste is really good. The finish benefits from the addition of a teaspoon of water.

(Rating interval 83-86)

Nose
Caramel, lime, honey, raspberry, almond, malt, vanilla and smoke. Initially quite some spirit for its ABV.

Taste
Caramel, mocha, malt, lime, apple, hazelnut and oaky spice.

Finish
Toffee, smoke, lime, malt sugar and vanilla.

Comments
Good value for money.
