Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old 3cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“A classy dram. I'd been highly fond of the affordable nature of Glen Scotia Victoriana of late and they have a lot in common in their sherried sweetness and their gentler approaches to more commonly robustly dealt out Isla style angles. This one is of course twice the price and its elegant approach to meeting very similar aims comes through, not to denigrate the Victoriana which I still merrily churn through, however this Bunnahabhain is just nice little find which I feel could appeal to both keen novices and more seasoned palates and be loved by both. In short, a swirling dance with the more fulsome side of whisky but without being beaten round the gullet with it.”

Description
Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old is a rich, complex beauty who has spent nearly two decades lounging in sherry casks and soaking up all the good stuff. Bottled at 46.3% ABV without chill-filtration or added colouring (because why mess with perfection?), it serves up layers of sweet, fruity, and savoury deliciousness.

Nose
Salted caramel leading to sticky toffee pudding sprinkled with nutmeg. With time a leathery quality emerges.
Palate
Dense, rich sherried notes perked up with a coastal saltiness. On a second wave roast chestnuts emerge and gentle wood spice.
Finish
Woodspice becomes mixed spice. The finish is warming and lengthy; salt and sherry towards the very end.
Overall
Bunnahabhain without chill-filtration is dense and oily and shows off its sherried credentials with ease.
