Bunnahabhain 12 Year

A favourite early on in my scotch journey. Aroma is gorgeous- a bit of seaside up front. A nice chewy barley taste. Very smooth and balanced throughout. One of the best bang for the buck whiskey’ out there This is the one I want to keep going back to.

Fruity, caramel, bourbon

Unique. Butterscotch, sherry nose. Sweet and salt and smooth with a hint of spice. Some tannins on the finish but subtle. A few drops of water mellows without diminishing. I’ve had it open for a while and it’s still as yummy as when we first began.

Ok - so this 12 year explicitly says “unpeated”. Not sure if Bunnahabhain changed that up from previous years. Apple, coastal, slightly saline-y, and the faintest bit of smoke.

The right level of smokey for Megan
