Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Cask Strength - 2022 Edition Whisky 70cl

This is a great Sherry whisky, loving this , I’m on my third bottle now, this is like syrup, so thick, sweet choc n raisin with Xmas cake vibe, I love drinking this side by side with edradour single cask, bunna is a sweet dried fruit sherry, edradour is that DIRTY sweet dark fruit Sherry , love em side by side, both my fav whiskies for this time of year

I've just finished the bottle I bought from last year.

Absolutely stunning sweet and rich whisky. I will be buying another bottle if I can get hold of the 22 might have to go to the 23 edition!

Beautiful sweet and fruity nose, continued on to the palate. This is the kind of bottle that you'll want to be getting for Christmas every year. One of the most well rounded sherry cask bottles I've had, and I've had plenty.

Solid whisky; but similar to what I experienced with some other Bunnahabhain bottles, the finish gives a nasty, dusty, cardboard aftertaste on the pallet.

It's my Go to pour at the moment.

I bought last year"s release and liked it but wasn't thrilled. This year is considerably more impressive. Some really great casks have been used here; I get similar notes to an older vintage glendronach 18 I have open. Scotch mist like nothing I've ever seen on addition of water. Diluted to 46% and tasted side by side with the standard 12 Year Old, the difference is clear. Debatable whether it's worth double but if you're a big fan of Bunnahabhain I think this is worth buying a bottle of to experience; it feels like quite a special release.

You ever buy a bottle of whisky, try it and wish you hadn't? Well, this is it for me. Normally, I'm a bit fan of Bunna - I have the 12, Stiuireadair and Toiteach a Dha in my cupboard as evidence - and I was really looking forward to this cask strength BUT what a disappointment. It's 56.6% so a bit too strong for me to drink neat but adding water ( in varying amounts) just seems to make it fall apart. This is not a cheap dram at nearly £80 so I think in future I'll stick to the good old 12yo or the Stiuireadair, which I can buy locally for £26. As for cask strengths, I'll go back to my Glenallachie, Glendronach or Laphroaig.

Never seen anything quite like this. Addition of a teaspoon of water leads to complete clouding over within about 30 seconds. Mouth feel is that of a thick cough syrup. Taste and smell are spectacular. Definitely worthy of the hype.

The is stunning. The most scotch mist I have seen in a modern whisky - it has all that makes the 12 year old a classic but amped up to 11… it’s a steal at the price
