Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair

This is the second take of the Stiuireadair, not as floral or fruity as I remember. I got a lot of salty brine on the front end then finished with light taste of apples or peaches. Bit more burn then I remember also which isn’t bad if finish off nicely. Definitely a young scotch and the climate of Scotland is not the best for younger aged whisky’s. Still not a bad whisky though just subpar and I can think of better for the price.

Have not tried the 12 year yet. But will, if this is their cheaper version I can imagine what there 12 taste like. Nice simple taste not to complex with lots of dried fruits and only get a hint of vanilla or toffee nice clean finish that doesn’t sit on the tongue. Not the best whisky but certainly a decent daily.

This was pretty strong when tasted neat. Nice but missing some of the lighter notes. Neat had the fruit, caramel, and dark fruits; adding a little water brought out more vanilla and citrus, while allowing a little hint of nuttiness to linger behind.
