Bottled 2015. Bunnahabhain = bunna = bunny. This neo-classic 12 year old bunny is just hopping up and down, hitting you with salt and sugar. You have to throw an award at it and call it a classic just to calm it down. The amount of sherriness they were able to fit into this with just a peep of sulfur is amazing. You get loads of red fruits and sherry nuttiness, bolstered beautifully by unabashed salt. Bunnahabhain is carving out its niche as the fruity, salty nut dram, and that captain on the bottle has been kicking some Macallan 12 ass since the new bottling strength of 46.3% started. This is a dram to pair with food. By itself, it is damned by this snobbery word of graying cantankerous whisky reviewers shunning the bandwagoners: “engineered.” I know they can’t just throw sugar and salt into the vat. But it feels like they did. This goes very well with savory foods; better than almost any red wine I’ve had. Score: * (unforgettably good) How much does a bottle cost: $55-65 How much do I think a bottle is worth: $65
