If the movie industry has proven anything (apart from Tom Hanks being a treasure), it's that people love a good sequel. Well, that idea is coming over to the whisky world - this right here is Bunnahabhain's Toiteach a Dhà, which means "Smoky Two" in Gaelic. It's the sequel to their popular peaty treat Bunnahabhain Toiteach, featuring a much more up-front core of sherried spice shining out between the smoky plumes.
Roasted peanuts, cinnamon and red chilli flakes, blackcurrant and Port.
Sea salt and kippers, dark chocolate, sultanas, a touch of cantaloupe.
Barley, dry smoke and pepper.
I've tasted worse but this is not my favourite. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Just not my personal preference.
Excellent full bodied, oily mouthfeel, sweet, fruity and ashy. With cold wood smoke and some spices from the barrels.
Sorry but this is awful. I love other Bunnahabhain offerings, but this one smells of and tastes of coal tar and burnt rubber. Amazed how people have found "tropical fruits" in it. One for the heavy smokers.
I've tried more Scotch in my 76 years than most and his one is smooth and easy to love. Certainly well worth the modest price.
Brilliant malt really nice and smokey.
