Bunnahabhain Palo Cortado

Brace yourself drinking this one...VERY spicy on the tongue and a long prickly finish that caused sweat to break out on the nose (literally). Not unpleasant, but surprising for a non-peated malt, and the assault masked any more subtle tastes and insights that might be in the dram, unfortunately. A massive contrast to the 25-year old, both at the same price point.
