A particularly fruit-forward expression from the Bunnahabhain Distillery on Islay! Aonadh (which is pronounced "Oon-ouch") brings together whisky which has been finished in Port casks with whisky that has been fully matured in sherry casks. As such, this expression boasts a host of red berry, stewed plum, and warming spice notes to the table. Should be an excellent autumnal dram, we reckon.
Dates and plums, with a dusting of cassia and black pepper. Subtle treacle tart richness in the background.
Cherry, poached pear, a gentle whiff of sea salt and roasted almonds punctuating the fruity notes.
Slightly chocolatey, with the black pepper notes from the nose returning.

I’m no expert but I get huge waves of Christmas cake and sea spray on the nose. A fabulous unmistakably Bunnahabhain flavour I can’t quite put my finger on. Both fruity and sea salt and a little pepper and spice. Definitely get a chocolate finish as the Master of Malts suggested. Overall a deep complex and wonderful whisky which I will enjoy thoroughly over the Christmas period.
Can’t say much more really, such an array of flavours would highly recommend
