The fantastic flagship from Bunnahabhain (pronounced boo-na-ha-ven), launched as the distillery's original single malt in 1979, this Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old. It is aged in a mixture of bourbon and sherry casks and, since a relaunch in 2010, has been bottled at a big 46.3% ABV without chill-filtration or additional colouring. Very impressive. Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old is unpeated, unlike most Islay whisky, but has a beautiful coastal quality complemented by its fruity, light, sweet and nutty character. It’s one of those whiskies that newcomers and enthusiasts alike appreciate.
Fresh, sweet, and a little floral. There’s seaweed, rich malt, dried fruit, camphor, caramel, chocolate orange, and apple poached in cinnamon.
Soft and supple with a nutty, sherried quality leading among vanilla, marmalade, sultanas, and a bright coastal element.
Mochaccino, dried herbs, Christmas cake spice, and a balanced salty tang.

Being relatively new to scotch, i don't have much to compare this to other than the contents of the advent calendar I treated myself to last year. I have learned I don't like smokey varieties and this is well clear of that. Very nice over a single ice cube.
It's a decent whisky, but way to expensive where we are, ($120+) so it'll be a once only since there is so much better out there in it's price range. It was my brother in-laws parrots fav whisky though, so we had to take it off him.
I bought a bottle earlier in the year and enjoyed it so much that my birthday gave an easy excuse for another! Rich, rounded and mellow it is a great late evening whisky and for me now a favourite.
This was a great bottle of whisky
sorry forgot the Stars! here they are....
