NOSE: ah the layering – Textbook stuff from the days before they started peating … which means that every nuance is there and unmolested by smoke. The citrus in particular shines, a kind of lime-blossom honey sweetness weighted by glorious butterscotch and vanilla mix. Occasionally head towards a slight bourbony note too … ; the pace, weight and complexity is borderline perfection.

TASTE: brilliant mouthfeel: so silky and soft with the gristy sugars from the malt still at the vanguard. Buttery and rich, but the gently oak doesn’t allow for too much OTT floweriness.

FINISH: the slow-motion movement towards spicy complexity is almost mesmerising …

BALANCE: old school Bunna at its oldest! Love it! A truly exceptional cask that demands half and hour just to get to know.

NOSE: gorgeous moist marzipan with acacia honey and barley juice;

TASTE: the kind of delivery that makes you wonder why a distillery is not more widely appreciated: classic Speyside flightiness but with a remarkable degree of intensity to the slightly grisy barley; the spices make an announcement at the midpoint …;

FINISH: and decide they are there to stay. Brilliant layering to the vanilla-led tannin, weaving pretty patterns with the concentrated Malteser candy; the oils cling on gamely ensuing fabulously long finish;

BALANCE: class in a glass.
