Bunnahabhain 12 Year

방금 따서 그런지 쉐리보단 꿀향 견과류향이 많이 남. 첫맛은 꽤나 달며 그다음 스파이시 하지만 부드러움. 자꾸 손이감 맛있음.

Full disclosure: just drank some glennfarclas 12 before this. Nose: grain, barley, musty, floral, baked bread Taste: tannin, cherries, sour Finish: spice, cayenne/chili pepper, long finish The real take away from this whiskey is the spice on the finish. It is powerful and I love it!

Good, subtle, could be more flavorful

I’ve had just about every other Islay Single Malt, but have put this one off due it being basically unpeated. But let’s see how it is. The nose is soft and sweet with orange citrus and pear fruits, slight saltiness, sweet vanilla, and a buttery/nut note that I take as the malt coming through. The palate is sweet with a creamy texture. There is orange vanilla spice cake, a nice buttery nutty mid palate, light oak and just a hint of black pepper spice on the back along with an alcohol note and burn that I don’t usually associate with this low of an abv 46.3%. The finish is medium with nice sweet vanilla cake, light oak and that nutty note I got from nose and palate. Though the alcohol burn lingers well past any flavors. Not bad, but nothing really that special at this point.
