    Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old

    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.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Fresh, sweet, and a little floral. There’s seaweed, rich malt, dried fruit, camphor, caramel, chocolate orange, and apple poached in cinnamon.

    Palate

    Soft and supple with a nutty, sherried quality leading among vanilla, marmalade, sultanas, and a bright coastal element.

    Finish

    Mochaccino, dried herbs, Christmas cake spice, and a balanced salty tang.

    Fantastic Dram!

    Not being an "experienced / connoisseur" with reference to Whiskeys, but having drunk many different Whiskey's in the past, This Bunnahabhain 12 is by far the nicest I have tasted. It is indeed sticking your nose in a Xmas Cake! Anyone who can advise me on a intenser sweet tasting whiskey in this price range, please advise.................

    Christmas in a glass

    Lovely winter warmer tastes like a glass of Christmas cake

    Wonderful

    A great all round Islay malt not for strong smokey drinkers. I would recommend to all.

    Bunna 12 is nice!

    Wow! First taste sent me back to the 80's, when I first started drinking proper Scotch. Back then I drank mostly Glenfiddich. It had no age statement (but is gwnerally guessed at 8yo). It tasted completely different to modern Glenfiddich 12. First mouthful of Bunnahabhain 12, I thoughtI was drinking 1980s Glenfiddich. Glrious stuff!

    Superb Winter warmer

    This is a superb winter warmer whose nose, palate and finish complement each other well in my view. To me, the nose is well balanced with pastry crust, dried fruit, candy orange, and toffee apple. The palate follows on with hints of nuts, boozy marmalade and Christmas spices before finishing warmly with dried Winter spices and malt. A favourite on my list for winter.
