Nose- Earthy peat, ash, vegetal, moss, green grape
Palate- honey initially, wave of spice, then that same earthy peat note, red wine influence, salt
Finish- Long, spicy finish with notes of earthy peat, pepper, and red grapes
This one is good, not fantastic, and certainly not my favorite bunna, but good. Nose has moss, earth and peat, with not much else (with water, green grapes and some stewed fruits developed). The palate has many layers, which I do like alot. Sweet to spice to peat to sweet and back to earthy peat again. Really develops in the mouth and is truly complex. I would grab a couple other peated whiskies before this (octomore, Lagavulin), but I believe this would stand toe to toe with 95% of the peated whiskies out there.
