Big fan of Bunnas – very pleased to get a drop of this Abbey Whisky exclusive, although not totally blown away by it. Thanks to Q for the sample.
Bunnahabain 23 years old, Abbey Whisky Rare Drams, 44% A
Nose – Sweet, waxy, a little musky. Fruit, but a little non-specific. Ripe pear maybe, a little orange juice. Very pleasant.
Body – Spicy, wooded – pine. Well balanced, very structured, quite drying.
Finish – Long, spicy, very good wood integration. The fruit returns at the end.
What's not good about it: Relatively uneventful – a bit of an ordinary* one given the hype.
What’s good about it: Good nose, great balance, robust.
* Please note Steve Prentice that this does not mean I think it is bad!
