Reviewed September 1, 2022 (edited January 2, 2023)I have been a little dissapointed with some Bunnahabhain expressions lately, and i did not found the tasting at the distillery to be a very good experience, since they just hand you some samples and they do not guide the tasting, the people at rhe distillery just leave you alone to enjoy your whisky, and i believe that it might be appealing to some, but not for me who have traveled from another continent. Having said that, one of the samples they gave us, was this 2004 vintage, Moine Px, which would mean it should be peated sherried. Bottled at 52.8%, this looks promising. On the nose, it was out of this world. Dehydrated pineapples, peat, earthy. Aromatic chocolaty peat; Heathery peat; Grassy. Some fruit syrup and sherriness.. Sweet. The chocolate has appeared after 5 minutes (yes it was so nice i nose it for a loooong time). Beautiful coffee; Toffee and coffee. Coffee and cacao, So creamy! On the palate, it was perfect. Chocolate and caramel, Impalpable sugar. Pineapple with some metallic and sulphuric notes. Delicious. Milky, chocolaty and creamy. Salty in the second sip, some cake fondant, more chocolate. Aftertaste continued the perfection. Ginger, prunes, some farm fruitiness, and gooseberries. Peat has appeared with gunpowder. Amazing Overall, this is the perfect Bunnahabhain. Absolutely amazing, it took me back to a nice impression of the whiskies from this beautiful place. Peaty, sweet, sherry, chocolate and much more. Incredible dram, my score is 100 over 100. -

Reviewed March 24, 2022More barbeque smoke, much more subtle than the Bordeaux. Flavor is similar though, perhaps a bit sweeter than it's cousin but similar profile. Fire, spice, wood, plum. Meaty, spreads out broadly over the tail. Rich and lovely.Bunnahabhain Distillery
