Bunnahabhain 25 Year

So I’ve had two cask strength Bunnahabhains aged 27 and 30 years before this one. Those were something epic and made my brother and me start to think this is the best whiskey on Islay. The 27 year Boutique-y bottle even laid waste to my cask strength single barrel Ardbeg 15. So came into this 25 from the distillery with high hopes.
The nose on this is golden raisins, white peach, some earthy notes, oak, cinnamon and layers of caramel. The taste has a high viscosity with candied orange, apricot, golden raisin, light oak spices, caramel and a finish that lingers for a few minutes with the same notes as the taste.
This is a very good whiskey but I don’t think it deserves the high price point. I was able to find the independent bottles that are older and far more complex than this for half as much. Glad I was able to get a small taster.
