CASK NUMBER: 17325 NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 209 ABV: 50% Vol. 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. TASTING NOTES: Jim Murray's 2021 Whisky Bible. |
