This is the 2022 Feis Ile non-peated version. I always thought Bunna was at its best when it’s peated, but wanted to give this a try. The price seemed right, and I’m a sucker for PX finishes.
Without water: harsher on the nose and palette, with a strong taste of balsamic vinegar strawberries.
With a touch of water: much more chocolate, the balsamic vinegar strawberries are more chocolate covered strawberries.
Overall—-not a bad Bunna, but leaves me guessing if it’s any better than the much cheaper 12yr old

@ContemplativeFox I don’t think it did. Surprisingly not sweet, despite the PX finish on a non-peated. I’ll send over a pour if you’re interested ? ( I have others to send along as well )
A PX finish on an unpeated Islay seems like an odd choice. Did any of the terroir make it through?
@PBMichiganWolverine Great, thanks! I look forward to trying it and you saved me from making a possible regrettable purchase.
@pkingmartin don’t buy it yet—- it’s in the sample set I’m sending to you, @ctbeck11 and @Richard-ModernDrinking
I was just looking at this bottle and about to buy it. Your review couldn’t have come at a better time.
