Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine

The first taste is sweet and peppery. It has a slightly alcohol heavy initial taste with some light oak and fruit, but it’s reasonably smooth with it. Salty and very slightly bitter on the aftertaste and a medium long finish. As a NAS Bunnahabhain it’s not bad. Unfortunately, it promises more than it delivers. Still a decent dram, but it just tastes too young and loses some of the layers and complexity of a typical Bunnahabhain for it.

The nose is really nice - the first nose nothing short of fantastic. It is not really Bunnahabhain as I know it, but so enjoyable. The taste is ok but not as special as the nose and feels almost a bid one-sided. The palate feels really young and missing smoothness and complexity. I guess this NAS base is much younger then 10y. For that it isn’t bad but also nothing out of the ordinary. But the nose really was something else.
