Bunnahabhain Ceòbanach

Batch 2 On the nose: campfire, ocean, green apple On the palate: canpfirey peat, mild salt, iodine, green apple, a little black pepper, ginger, honey. Definitely a heavily peated, but so well integrated with the fruit/sweet flavors On the finish: effervescent on the tongue, more honey and ginger and orchard fruit with the smoke going to the background. Doesn’t leave you with a mouthful of smoke Overall: A great take on the classic heavily peated Islay. The peat is so well integrated with the sweeter notes. Hardcore peat-heads may want to skip this one, but this is a great pick for someone looking for a complex peated dram

pretty easy sipping at 46.3%ABV. light on the palate, yet quite smoky and briny, with the classic Bunna green apple notes. would be interested to find out how it serves as an aperitif before a seafood fest. solid

First Islay I have ever tried. Very smoky on the nose, a bit lighter and brighter with some soft vanilla and butter notes before a very smoky finish.

Smoky honey and toffee on the nose with some oak. Mild toffee smoke on the palate and a nice long finish. It’s quite enjoyable.

Light peat, animal crackers, ginger candy, vanilla cream, and lemon cookies marry in a subtle yet enticing nose. In the palate, it's a peated Bunnahabhain: not as muscular as the distilleries on the southern end of Islay but still the star of the show. It's a peppery, briny peat that brings deep coastal air, seaweed, and grilled fish together with biscuits, custard, and citrus fruits. The finish is long with the peat finally assuming total control, ending its dominance with a long, salty sustain.

This basically tastes like what it is, peated Bunnahabhain. It's not heavy or overly smoky, but the peat smoke and some oceanic flavors of iodine and brine are there along with some sweetness typical of this distillery. It is nice and smooth - I definitely like it.

A beautiful whiskey. NCF, NC. Looks grand in the glass. A pale lemony yellow. A no BS pour. Smells, tastes and finishes a perfect combination of beach and citrus. Smooth. One could drink this all day. No water. No ice. Enjoy it as is. 46.3%. Delicious.

Surprisingly good out of the gate (I didn’t think much of the 12 year). Peaty but light, with subtle sweetness and some saltiness/medicinal quality, which is a bit too much in the backend.
