The greatest whisky I have tasted so far. Subtle, complex flavours. Mild, but not at all watery. Phenomenal finish, warming and smooth, with a touch of peat.A fabulous drink. Posted By: Isaac

Nose- Straight away when you put it to your nose you know it's a Bunny. It has the Edinburgh Rock / Confectioners Sugar nose along with a lovely freshness of green fruits. Taste- Slightly sweet on the palate , bags of my Favourite Edinburgh Rock (sorry to keep going on about it!), A touch of honeyed malt as well. Finish- a lovely long sweet finish, really light. An Amazing dram, So good I bought 3 and named it my Favourite I.B. of the year !!

Bunnahabhain
www.burnstewartdistillers.com

THE BUNNAHABHAIN DISTILLERY lies on the peaceful, sheltered north-eastern coast of Islay, the most southerly of the Hebridean Islands. Built in 1881 its name comes from the Gaelic, Bunnahabhain (Bu-na-ha-venn), meaning ‘mouth of the river’, a reference to the Margadale, the river from whose clear Spring waters the whisky is distilled.

Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes by Martine Nouet

Nose: Fragrant. Lemon juice and pulp. Gooseberry. A hint of verbena herbal tea.

Palate: Sweet at first then getting bitter. Strange hoppy taste, like a beer. Peppermint.

Finish: Dry, spicy, sherbety.

Comment: A summer dram. Quite thirst quenching with its bitter profile.

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom

Nose: Slightly plain, yet fragrant with wet green grass, anise, marzipan. Lightly dusty. Sweeter with water.

Palate: Very sweet again. The anise note returns along with meadow sweet. Firm but charming.

Finish: Clean and soft.

Comment: A welcome addition.

Tasting Notes by TF

Nose: Exotic fruit, peach, pear esters, suggestion of pineapple. Perfumed, floral, almost varnishy. Develops vanilla and dusty cedarwood.

Palate: Burst of fruit, esp pineapple. The peat is sweet and subtle, melding perfectly with the fruit. Late oak arrival, quite sappy oak for a malt so old. Remarkably fresh.

Finish: Warming and sweet, with the peat just winning. Still fruity, but becoming more appley. Lovely toasted cereal notes cropping up in little mini-surges.

Comment: Surprising in many ways. Delicious and seriously more-ish.
