It's the 3rd batch of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's Bunnahabhain, and their first Bunna bottling with an age statement - this right here is a 33 year old single malt! There's lots going on around the distillery, with all the rally cars, caber-tossing and Duffie trucks. A truly magical place to be.
Batch 3 is a release of 158.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Very fruity coffee - notes of kumquat, red grape and clementine develop. Sea breeze gathers in the glass, and develops into toasty oak smoke after five minutes or so.
Still deliciously fruit-forward, though now there's handfuls of candied peels and blueberries too. Rye bread with a layer of quince jam. Elegantly well oaked.
Salted crackers, with strawberries and black pepper in tow. Red apples appear very late on the finish.
Almost like an old Bowmore - it's definitely on the way to 'falling over' into Tropical fruit territory. A cut-price Bowmore Fino?
