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.
what a depth of flavour for a 12 year old. A little on the high price for being 12 years old but worth every penny. A bottle that will always be on my shelf. Fantastic sherried dark fruits, long lingering finish with a slight smoke but plenty of dried fruits throughout. Love this single malt.
Lovely malt needs a drop of water gets better with time best 12 year old out there very nice price
Others have already said everything about this Whisky. I love this Whisky, and will be purchasing a few more bottles in due course. Kev Doncaster
If there is a better 12 year old malt out there, then I'm yet to find it.
Bloody nice. Tried it for the first time last week. It is delicious.
