Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair

Nose: Unsurprisingly the sherry casks leave a heavy influence on the nose. Stewed fruit, lemon zest, malt squares cereal. Faint whiff of salty sea air. Palate: Initial hit of brine. Milk chocolate, dried sweet sultanas, a hint of dark fruit like prunes. Finish: The chocolate lingers for me, with barrel spice rising and falling. Leaves red apple as an aftertaste.

Heavy honey and floral notes on the nose, starts with sweet honey and ends in spice and very faint peat. sherry notes in the mix as well as hay and light oak. not as peaty as I like in a scotch but it’s a good intro for people getting into it!

Welcome to another Bunnahabhain unpronounceable expression, this time the "STRUYERYER" (that is how it sounds, allegedly, when spoken). Stiuireadair means Helmsman, who is the sailor that steers the helm of a ship. Bottled at 46.3%abv, matured in first and second filled sherry casks. On the nose, it is very tropical. Pineapple, spongy cake, tropical fruits like peaches. Honey; very appealing on the nose, yeasty cake. There is a gosthly chocolate and brownies. I loved it. On the palate, it is very sweet. Vanilla, spongy cake and "dulce de tres leches" topping. It is very spongy and cakey. Reminds me of glenmorangie a tale of cake. Aftertaste was good but was the least good part. Chocolate, salty and gingery. Vanilla, Tres leches and red fruit finish. Overall, this was actually an incredible whisky for a very good price. This is not expensive at all, and it is full of flavor, an instant favorite, everyday dram. It has a decent amount of abv to achieve all this nice notes. My score for it is 93 over 100.

Very smooth. Like a baby's bottom
