Bunnahabhain 18 Year

WOW!!! Very smooth nice and complex sherry influence, sweetness some saltiness and bready notes. If you get the chanse to try it, do! It's a gem.

Nose- Salted caramel, candied raisins, light smoke (not peat, more barrel char), cherries, molasses Palate- Sea salt initially, raisins, light smoke (again, barrel char), wood spice, chocolate covered cherries Finish- Long, creamy finish with notes of candied raisins, spices, and dark chocolate Very nice. I’m a huge fan of the Bunna 12, and while it’s not a big step up, it really is delicious and a fantastic sipper. Nose is beautiful, with sweet sherry notes coupled with the traditional bunna saltiness. Palate matches the nose well, with a little added spice on top, and has a creamy mouthfeel with a long, tasty finish. Just sweet enough while not being over the top.

Palate: rich, oily, salty and sweet. Decadent salted caramel, baked apples, milk chocolate, nuts, lovely oak spice that coats your whole mouth, chocolate malt, salted mixed nuts chewy earthy peat.
