Bunnahabhain Toiteach

Im a massive fan of Bunna 12 as well as smoky scotches so this peated malt was a no brainer. Specs on sale for$59.99!! NAS but still no coloring and un-chillfiltered. Poured neat, nose has BBQ smoke and peat with malt, honey and animal cracker sweetness. Its soft but its extremely deep, smooth and rich. Inhale to your hearts content without ethanol interfering. I drive by the Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood Tx everyday and this reminds me of the smell from the pits that wafts out to the road. Oily mouthfeel brings waves of dense flavor. Strong smoky brisket, sweet heavy malt, mild pepper, birch wood, raw honey, vanilla pudding skin and a dusty note in the back. Carries some heat but the level of flavor here is worth it (I may hear angels singing when I drink this). Finish is long fade of the sweet very smoky malt, vanilla, honey and drying charred wood. This does not have the dark fruit notes of the Bunna12. Profile is similar to combo of Bruichladdich Classic, one of my top scotches and Ardbeg 10 with loads of luscious smoke. If you enjoy the smokies you need try this. The BBQ smoke/honey sweetness on this is intoxicating. .............91/100.......Its pricey but Ill have to buy it again(will try and make this one last)
