A 37 year old single malt from the excellent Bunnahabhain distillery on the Isle of Islay, bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. Old Bunnahabhain is absolutely glorious stuff, so if you like things that are tasty, you should be well excited about this one.
Batch 7 is a release of 244 bottles.
‘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.
Dry oak, old leather and a hint of rock pools demonstrate this dram’s age, but sweet toffee, roasted malt, chestnuts and a helping of cinnamon keep things lively. Cherry, dried fruits and honeydew melon bring a fruity vibrancy.
The oak note becomes more earthy as the palate adds more funk and spice. There’s bitter herbs and forest floor elements, tart red fruit and a blend of treacle and Darjeeling tea, all of which are punctuated by subtly sweet, drying ginger. Old apples and green tobacco develop with time.
Herbaceous peppermint provides a fascinating conclusion.
Age looks good on this Bunnahabhain, which boasts a plethora of sumptuous, interesting flavours. Excellent.
