Bunnahabhain Ceòbanach

After having tried the most obvious Islay distilleries, it was time to try and sample Bunnahabbain. With a name that means 'Smoky Mist' I figured I couldn't go wrong, with this Ceòbanach. My first bunny was a satifying one. A lot of peat smoke, and definately some seaweed, but less rubbery than, say Ardbeg. There are also some hints of spices/peppers, and some citrussy fruits, without being overly sweet. Add to this a pleasant afteraste, that lingers a fair amount of time, and it's a recipy for a top dram. I must say that I'm still fond of the Laphroaigs and Ardbegs I've tried, but I'm growing more and more appreciation for the lesser known brands such as this Bunnahabbain.
