Суммаризация отзывов

Bunnahabhain 12-year-old в этих отзывах чаще всего описывают как сбалансированный шерри-виски с сухофруктами, орехами, карамелью/шоколадом и морскими/солёными нотами, часто без торфа, с хорошим соотношением цены и качества; при этом есть заметные отрицательные и противоречивые мнения — от серы, металла и «latex taste» до спиртуозности, слабого финиша и ощущения «моложе 12 лет».
развернуть подробно
По выжимкам из 154 текстовых отзывов Bunnahabhain 12-year-old чаще всего описывают как сбалансированный, шерри-доминантный виски с сухофруктами, карамелью, ванилью, орехами, шоколадом и морскими/солёными оттенками, нередко отмечая отсутствие торфа. Многие тексты подчёркивают хорошее соотношение цены и качества, называют его надёжным базовым/ежедневным виски, «классикой» или одним из лучших 12-летних стандартов. Часть отзывов при этом считает его простым или «не выдающимся», а также отмечает различия между старыми и новыми версиями: по мнению некоторых, современная версия потеряла часть морских нот и стала более мейнстримной, есть сомнения в изменении профиля/рецептуры и меньшей плотности по сравнению со старой версией, а один отзыв описывает текущий батч как «довольно безобидный» при хорошей текстуре. Отрицательные и противоречивые мнения в наборе разнообразны и не сводятся к одной причине. Сообщается о сильной солёности, делающей вкус несбалансированным, о неприятном «latex taste» и о резко негативном отзыве из-за «poor sulphered sherry»; также упоминаются «плохая партия» с серой, металлическим вкусом и газированностью, резкая алкогольная нота и вяжущая/кисловатая винная нота, серные/шерри-ноты и «педестриан»-вкус, слишком затхлый/землистый запах и лёгкая горечь, неприятная «картонная» нота в одной из бутылок, позже исчезшая, а также критика бурбонового влияния и пряной жгучести. Противоречия касаются и алкоголя: одни находят его хорошо интегрированным, другие — слишком спиртуозным или перечным; в одном отзыве алкоголь резко ощущается при первом впечатлении, но почти исчезает при повторном, в другом отмечается «слишком алкогольный» нос. Финиш также оценивают по-разному: от долгого, пряного и сухого до «плоского», слегка горького и неприятного кислого; отдельно упоминаются резкость и быстрое «проваливание» вкуса после хорошего носа, спиртуозность, водочность, чили-специи и ощущение, что виски «моложе своих 12 лет», а также неспособность выделить отдельные ноты при общей симпатии к напитку. Есть и сдержанные замечания: вкус слабее аромата, «несколько меньше» носа и вкуса после дыхания и лёгкая кислинка при долгом стоянии почти пустой бутылки, очень мягкий и цветочный профиль, а самая низкая оценка в наборе — 75 с формулировкой «не моя чашка»; ещё один отзыв — «не совсем мой чай».

A pleasant basic whisky for evening sipping. The aroma is sweet and fruity, but at the same time I also smell salty butter in it, which is very funky. The taste is drier than I would expect from the aroma, but it is a beautifully complex sherry. I'm a bit bothered by the alcohol pungency. Good value for money.

Нос85Sugar and salt. It comes with a hint of fruit and chocolate along with a salty smell. There is also a slight sherry scent that is refreshing. Fine vanilla.
Вкус86Sweet honey. Salty. It comes with an astringent oak taste. Since each has a strong personality, the balance is a bit ambiguous. The astringent oak flavor changes into light tannin. It's 46 degrees, so it's definitely oily, but it's not that big because of the saltiness.
Финиш85Salty, Oak, Chocolate, Spicy Unlike the palette, you can feel the spice in the finish. On the palette, the spiciness is buried due to the saltiness. A sweet and salty aftertaste remains.

Very fruity and drinkable, of course that is not the same 12yo Bunna as some years ago, lost totally of its maritime notes such as iodine, seaweed and kippery notes, I guess this is now better for the mainstream - overall very nice (but lower rating than for older 12yo bottlings)

A diverse, deep, aroma-dense and yet crystal-clear island malt of twelve years. After the first comparison of the old and (visually) new equipment I can say: The Bunna 12 remains true to itself. The differences are marginal. The "old" Bunna looks a bit more mature, spicier; the "new one" a bit younger, but with a little more sherry and more pronounced mint freshness.

Bomshanka Expert Senior 85 14 feb 2020 2:38 am
Comparative tasting of the Bunnahabhain 12 (2016 - old design) and 12 (2019 - new design). Very nice sherry casks in both versions, but 2016 seems more restrained, less forced on wood, while 2019 is brighter and more sappy. 2016 is noticably darker in colour than 2019 (both uncoloured) which alludes to more refill being used in newer bottlings. Probably the same old song of fewer quality casks around. The older version scores higher for a more complex and less strained experience. Both are great quality unpeated islay sherry whiskies and a good price for 12 years.

Нос86Sweet, dark fruits, raisins, bright sherry, freshly cut oak, slightly leathery, faint oily scent. Something flinty, burnt granite from a fireplace.
Вкус85Sweet & sour oaky sugar sap, sultanas, figs, dried apricot. Slightly salty, minerally. Dirty oily soily in a strangely well mannered fashion. Quite pleasant, but also a little exhausting for the palate.
Финиш85Drying on fruit and oak, medium lenght. Not terribly eventful.

A literal milk chocolate bar, covered in pedro ximenez sherry. Wonderful aroma. Taste is weaker. Cool in the start, a hint of sherry in the start, but fades in favour of minerals and slight salt. On finish... What is that ? Iodine ? Sherry aftertaste. Good aroma, a little bit lacking taste, decent finish. One of the best regular releases in current market. Great example of 84-85.

Aroma: Thick fruit, sweet, refreshing citrus, savory malt notes The scent itself is complex, appearing as various fragrances blend together. Pleasant scents with absolutely no strong alcohol smell; surprisingly, the fragrances are not overpowering. Flavor: Spicy, salty, smoky, fruity sweetness At first, a spicy taste is felt, followed by a faint smoky aroma and a salty taste. Taking another sip, the sweetness of red fruit alternates with the salty taste. Finish: Spicy, smoky, salty The finish is not strong; after the spiciness, smoky and salty flavors linger, finishing subtly. If sufficient training is achieved, I think I would give it 89 points.

Bunnahabhain 12 YO Category: Single Malt Producer and bottler: Bunnahabhain Distillery (Distell Group) Region: Islay ABV: 46.3% Volume: 700 ml Bottling date: 03/22/2021 Barrel type: Ex-bourbon and ex-sherry Age: 12 YO Filtration: not carried out Dye: none Nose. Salt water, smoked cherries, prunes, black dried apricots and raisins, milk chocolate, toffee, peanut butter, walnuts, wet sawdust, iodine, apples, pears, plum jam, licorice, ginger, pepper. Woody, mineral, marine and noticeably sherry nose. Gives a good impression of quality work in the selection of barrels. Taste. Very woody and nutty (like biting off a piece of a freshly planed board and eating it with oatmeal cookies with peanuts and almonds), salty, light pepperiness, bitterness of dark chocolate and sweetness of caramel and dried fruits, sourness of berries and citrus zest. Smooth at 46.3%, easy to drink and with an interesting whisky bouquet. Aftertaste. Average. There is no particular dryness, bitterness. Roasted almonds, coffee, grape combs, wood, frozen berries. For some reason, I like the aftertaste of this whisky the most. Bottom line. A little unusual whisky, something new. An interesting combination of sherry character with a maritime profile without a hint of peat and with high-quality, active barrels. Obvious its own original style, deserves high praise. Score: 86 out of 100.

This is truly an impressive whisky to have in your collection. It costs only 50 to 55 euros but it can offer much more than whiskies with bigger names or higher age statements. The aroma is very lively and you can find spicy notes of ginger and cinnamon alongside caramel and sweetness. However the palate is what is truly impressive and somewhat reminiscent of the Glenfarclas 15. It starts smooth but then hits you with a relentless spiciness before turning salty and slightly smoky with a dose of sweetness. It makes your tongue tingle a bit and the mouthfeel is very powerful. The finish is excellent providing a warm and peppery sensation that is very pleasant. For this price point there are very few whiskies in my opinion that can match its quality. Despite being 46.3% ABV you do not feel any harsh burn because it is well hidden within the complex profile of the spirit. It is an amazing whisky.

The old 12ka is denser and oily, and what sherry, no one felt in it, right there is a sweetness of alcohol. It seems that the sherry barrels in the dough became less, or the refil bourbon was replaced with firstfill, or they were deceiving that the recipe of the dough did not change, or ... all together.

Tasting as a blind sample: After the dissolution, I was amazed at first. So I didn't remember the Bunna 12 (as far as I know from older batches). Back then, the one with was much more voluminous. Maybe it's the batch? In any case, he was very nice, but couldn't really convince. Edit: Much better at the second tasting! Apparently very dependent on the form of the day :)

Нос84Initially alcoholic, slightly nutty, some marzipan, pleasant sweetness, dry wood, restrained red fruit notes in the background, sweet dry hazelnuts, vanilla ice cream. Over time, the alcohol fades away and the aromas become softer, sweeter and more fruity. Edit: Much better after a second tasting! Pleasantly soft and with great red fruit notes, plus sweet nuts. Delicious!
Вкус84Pleasant, almost creamy sweetness. In addition, delicate tart nut notes, some caramel, toffee, light red fruit notes in the background, delicately spicy wood and a little cocoa. Edit: Pretty tasty here at the second tasting too. A little more spicy compared to the last time, but more red fruits.
Финиш83Somewhat flat, slightly tart, delicately bitter. Some spicy moist wood remains. Edit: Yep, unfortunately still pretty flat and slightly bitter. In return, more red fruits remain. And it stays very long!

How did Bunnahabhain do it? Perfect balance, intense and elegant aromas, extremely supple on the palate. If I don't name its year, I'd think it's a 14~16 year old whisky. Provide perfect work at low price, This is a whisky that benefits the drinker. How respectable! 86 points for taste, plus 2 points for price, for a total of 88 points.

I didn't expect to like this one so much. I prefer (at least lightly) peated whiskies, and sherry cask finishes can be on the 'too sweet' side for me. But Bunnahabhain 12 turns out to be a wonderfully balanced maritime drink with plenty of depth, that kept me fully interested for three drams straight. The first bottle was emptied in good company, and a second one is all but certain.

Нос87The sherry is immediately there, dried fruit, fresh fruit as well (pear, peaches), caramel and salty seaside notes as well. Very nicely balanced, I like this a lot.

Quality malt, that is rich, clean with dark fruits,malty chocolate and spicyness. A soft long dry sherry oily finish . Enjoyable. Side by side with Bunnahabhain An Cladach it takes the medal for more complexity and flavours. The Bunna cask strength 12 of course is a flavour bomb in comparison. This is still a good accessible malt to kick off your journey, as I did.

For me, without a doubt one of the best 12-year-old standard whiskies on the market. A prime example of how to create and produce a multifaceted and complex whisky in large quantities without having to set a marketing machine in motion that drives up the price. Here you get a high-quality whisky at an affordable price, and that deserves the highest praise. - March 8, 2019

An honest dram, which sins in the pungent and annoying alcoholic presence, influence of the important cask (until it becomes slightly astringent) and a sour vinous note that goes little with the sweetness of the remaining sweet and creamy bouquet. He does a bit of punching with himself

Cracking Islay single malt. Very drinkable, but with plenty of layers and elements that get highlighted on each different sip. Often on sale for around £30 from Waitrose or Amazon, this one's a no-brainer. Top marks for 46%, no chill-filtration and natural colour also.

Bunnahabhain is lucky to have such a great malt in the core range. Bourbon cask and nuttiness complement each other wonderfully to create a malt that is mild but very expressive for 12 years. A very neat PLV.

Fruity malt, very flavorful for 12 years, noticeable cask influence from both the oak and sherry. Partly too alcoholic, tingles on the tongue, even with water. All in all a good inexpensive entry-level whisky. I lack the sophistication for more, something special.
Slàinte Mhath Super Administrator 87 22 jan 2023 2:18 pm
Affordable, well-presented and always a reliable choice: if there is such a thing as the perfect gift bottle, Bunnahabhain 12 would be it. Sherry-driven, oily and virtually unpeated, the nose combines orange peel, peaches and shortbread with hazelnuts, treacle and hints of sea breeze. Sweet and sour notes, ginger and bitter wood spices accompany the rich mouthfeel before the taste shifts gears towards spearmint, cocoa and brown sugar. Walnuts, stewed fruits and a touch of mocha fade in the lasting and resinous finish. This malt punches above its weight! RATING: 4.0/5.0 stars ≙ 87 pts → FIRST-CLASS

09/28/2025 - 33 ml Blind test in a glass 1920, it is very different from the more than 200 whiskies I have tasted and I was certainly unfair, as it turned out to be a whisky that demands an entire bottle to appreciate, as a single dose prevents you from following the unfolding of all the complexity involved. The lack of alcohol on the nose is also unusual, but the alcohol on the palate didn't even seem like a 12-year-old, as I noticed when I opened the label. A "nerd" classic that deserves a bottle and thus contributes something fair to my notes. Thanks!
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос85Roasted green coffee, wood sawdust, vanilla and caramel blended together. Alcohol-free, just a moderate burn of spices like clove and cinnamon. Young red wood with heartwood (I'm reminded of the scent of mahogany or jatobá here in Brazil). The malt is reminiscent of Amber or Irish Red beer. Roasted cereals, salted roasted peanuts, ripe rye; in short, sweet and toasted cereal. Some dried and candied fruits, especially dates. Toffee reminds me of an old Nestlé brand dulce de leche. With water, it releases a brackish aroma, milk chocolate with fleur-de-sel, and varnished wood. Unlike any other I've ever had, it's somewhere between whisky, bourbon, rye, and brandy.
Вкус80Now it's spicy, unlike the nose, with notes of chili pepper, new wood, spices, and roasted wild grains. Caramel and vanilla in the background. With water, the initial impact is sweet and caramelized, but even with less alcohol, the mouthfeel is numb like rye whisky, along with burnt bread, dulce de leche, and salted dark chocolate. The wood blends into all of this, with a touch of maritime varnish.
Финиш79Long and warm, with a slightly tannic aftertaste, new wood and salted cashew nuts.
Sven75 Member Senior 83 17 dec 2025 9:19 pm
Around 2018, the regular 12-year-old really impressed me. Back then, relatively early in my whisky journey, I rated it 88 points. I had another sample in 2025, and it's still solid – but of course, it doesn't reach those heights anymore. A nice, straightforward sherry whisky at a reasonable price. For my taste, though, it's a touch too peppery. Otherwise, it's pleasant but not outstanding.
TomyCyber Expert Junior 82 12 apr 2026 4:49 pm
12/09/2022 82 / 100 Color: Natural amber. Not chill filtered. AROMA - 20 / 25 Rum-like and intense. Lots of sherry notes and chocolate-dipped prunes. Vanilla, toffee, peaches, and a touch of marzipan. Later, a touch of earthiness and forest floor emerge. The alcohol is well hidden. TASTE - 21.5 / 25 Salty-sweet with a hint of jam and wood. Plenty of pepper and ginger, along with caramel and milk chocolate. Then a bit of smoked fruit, and that's it. It doesn't give me the "WOW" factor it does to others. FINISH - 20 / 25 The finish is consistent, not too long and fades with warming smoke. BALANCE - 20.5 / 25 It's actually different in aroma, taste, and finish. It's not quite my cup of tea, and I don't fully understand the concept, but you might like it.
Tommyknocker Connoisseur 86 18 jul 2026 6:15 pm
Still a classic, one of the best standards from a distillery. The sherry cask dominance of earlier bottlings is somewhat reduced again, which suits it well; it's a bit dirtier, more maritime. Lovely!

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2022/10/16/feis-ile-2022-bunnahabhain/ I’m trying Stuart’s ‘back of the palate’ tasting technique [WLP], and I can tell you, I like it. N: Raisins, chocolate, casks. T: More raisins, something of a waxy/greasy chew and yet a soft dryness also. F: Manages to resist becoming simply rubbery or syrupy. Is this more vegetal greasy-waxiness the new seasoned sherry style of 2022? I do hope so. C: I like the 12, always have. Today I find it a tad more simplistic than when I last tried it in the spring, a little more painting by numbers today but still an excellent prospect with regards to quality and price for an available & affordable integrity bottling. Scores 84 [tasted outside] points.

Haven't had this bottle for quite a while but thanks to Black Friday I was able to pick up 6 bottles for 34 EUR each. Stellar deal. Still love this whisky. It's amazing. "This entry level Bunnahabhain bottling comes in a redesigned bottle. This 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky is a light, fresh dram, bottled at the higher strength of 46.3% - for more complexity and flavour." N: Fresh and sweet right away. Very welcoming. Heavy sherry influence which I don't mind because the DNA of the distillery still shines through. Coastal notes. Walking on the coast of Islay, fresh ocean air breezing through your hair. Salty air and water with a hint of seaweed. Plums, figs, cherries and sultanas. (95) P: Soft, supple. Plums, figs loads of cherries and very nutty. A little sweetness, malty, juicy. Coastal elements, salt and seaweed. (94) F: Sherried, mochaccino, balanced salty tang. (92) 95 / 94 / 92 = 93.6667 --> 94 pts / 100

It plays a little safe/clinical for my liking, but the quality of the malt still occupying supermarket shelves – with an age statement – is as high as ever.

Aug 2018 ======== Bunnahabhain 12. A miniature with old branding. Aroma is very sherry in a green apple sort of way, plastic and sherry, very spiritous, faint coffee grounds, washing powder, raw alcohol. Wow, weird. I'm not sure I like it but it softened given time. Taste is pretty punchy with lots of salt, peach-apple background. Good balance of sweetness. A little vodka-like into the finish. A bit rough I thought - I will have to try a newer bottling at some point to compare. (3.1/74) ---------------------- Nov 2024 ======== Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old, 46.3%, SMSW, Natural Colour and NCF. Plain orange colour – looks coloured, but isn’t. Aroma is orange cream chocolates from Quality Street. Now that I’ve written that down it’s all I can smell. Vague hints of peach and damp sticks, but these are very much background to the dominant note of orange cream chocolates. Later on there’s some chlorinated water. Body is watery. Taste is soft on impact but bigger on flavour. Chilli notes throughout, intensifying on the finish – that’s the dominant vibe for me on the palate. It’s backed up by subtle chocolate, a thin note of salted caramel, ethanol flavour without the associated heat/burn, a very subtle hint of struck match. The ethanol and chilli spice aren’t quite floating my boat. Tastes younger than its 12 years. I came back to this 6 years later thinking perhaps the whisky has changed or my palate has changed, but actually I think everything is more-or-less the same! (3.2/77)

Writing this review because Whiskybase requires a review for this rating. Whenever I try a whisky I give it a win or loss versus other recent whiskies and compile the data using the Colley Matrix Method. The result is a rating from 0 for the worst whisky I've tried to 100 for the best. For Whiskybase I adjust the rating to a 67.5 to 92.5 scale.

Balanced nose, dried fruit, nuts. Salty, funky fruit and spices on the palate with the salt cutting through on the finish. A well balanced dram and exception value in its price range.
Vladimir Ziryanov Connoisseur 84 19 feb 2018 5:02 pm
Nose - fresh, powerful enough, sherry-orange-pomegranate, at the end a little cherry pops out, promisingly - 22 Taste - decently knitting, cherry-sherry, flat - 21 Finish - slides into some not very noble wine, openly sour, a rather long but not very pleasant aftertaste - 20 Balance sheet - 21 Total: 83-84, closer to 84, overstay the previous 12-year regulars a little more like, but this one is quite good as the base

More sherried than the standard 12-year-old, especially in those red fruits. The sherry influence in the standard one leans more towards caramel.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2019/06/25/b-sides-another-half-dozen-2/ An old favourite tasted blind. N: Linseed, putty, potting sheds,… all sorts and old skool in style. T: With a larger ppm count than usual [coming from a previous Laphroaig I reckon – whoops], this is a cracking batch that offers something for everyone. F: Finishes aptly. C: This is certainly the best 12yo Bunna I’ve had [and I’ve had a few], likely aided by previous drams so I need to be careful with scoring here. Maybe someone should start ageing Bunnahabhain in ex-Laphroaig casks if they haven’t already.

DistiLesha Connoisseur 86 09 feb 2022 8:34 pm
Something connoisseurs underestimated this molt. In my opinion, a very solid and high-quality whisky, the same old and kind, but not the one that many distilleries have been producing in recent years. You can feel the honesty of aging in an honest barrel, not to mention good strength, cold filtration and natural color. For beginners, a very worthy copy that is worth the money!

First impression Nose: Great nose! Cherries and other red fruits, a light hint of mint and sea air, unfortunately the nose from the blender glass is quite alcoholic, I haven't noticed that in other glasses. But the impression of cherry has never been so pronounced. Mouth: Unfortunately, a lot of alcohol comes through straight away. Is that because the bottle has been open for a while? Or is it really the blender's glass? I'll have to check in a few days. Otherwise, I have a lot of sherry dried fruit varieties that overlap here and are difficult to tell apart. I can still clearly taste dates in the crowd, but then it becomes difficult. Finish: In the finish I have quite a lot of alcohol but also dry fruits Second impression Nose: More intense! Lots of wood, which wasn't there the first time. Now you can also smell dried plums and dark chocolate! Together with the cherries, this creates a smell like a MonCheri! There are now also very clear PX notes and dark, very sweet grapes. The alcohol has almost completely disappeared, perhaps I was just too hasty the first time and didn't give the wine enough time in the glass. Mouth: This time the taste is extremely mild and balanced. No comparison to the first sip. Where did the alcohol go? No matter, the great sherry aromas definitely dominate from here on. Dark fruits, a hint of honey and light notes of coffee (is that from toasting the barrels?) are my clear favorites and complement the taste of cherries and dates, which I can now also detect in my mouth. Finish: Here too, the alcohol is now a thing of the past, the complexity is not very high, but the impression of sherry remains for a very long time. For me, a medium-long finish that is not very complex but is clearly sherry and dried fruit.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2019/05/13/feis-ile-2018-bunnahabhain-open-day/ The old faithful, ha! - currently made up of 75% bourbon-matured juice. N: Finally, a whisky with some decent ageing signs, though those casks are still dominant. Notes then of vanilla putty cream, a slight lactose fungal depth and rich & literal bourbon notes. T: Fairly weighty presence, malty, dry, creamy & spicy. Everything’s well tempered but there is an underlying uneasiness from some spicy heat lurking in the wings. F: The finish is like a creamy Jim Beam bourbon which spoils any illusions of grandeur beyond the sum of its parts. C: Despite wildly differing batch variations, I always liked the 12yo. This is a fair example though there are still 1990’s bottlings going at auction for the same price as contemporary expressions.
Bam Expert Senior 87 02 sep 2019 6:33 pm
One of my favorite standards, which I always like to buy, tastes better than most 18-year-olds. The sherry makes itself more through nutty aromas, and less noticeable about the fruit. The salty, slightly mineral Bunnahabhain character is beautifully interwoven with the barrel flavors and the oak.

It’s been a while since I reviewed a Bunna 12. It must have been over a year ago. Things did change over the past years. My first Bunna 12 was extremely focused to iodine and other medicinal notes but without the peat. It was a really unusual fellow. Later more balance came in. However it changed, Bunna 12 has always been a solid score. I can’t imagine this has changed with todays bottlings. Let’s find out.

Nose: Great juicy dark fruits, really these fruits are just jumping out of the glass: raisin, prune juice, a hint of grapes. Some mild to slightly dark chocolate there as well, and some nutmeg and clove, with just a hint of salt; just slight oak, and vanilla and caramel are quite light. The fruits really are the star of the show here, though; there are also sultanas, a touch of orange, acidic prune, and some freeze dried strawberries. Later, just a minute perfume note as well. Palate: Slightly warm on the palate, and the sherry influence from the casks definitely presents itself up front: slightly more bitter fruit, but still in that general vein of red, orange, and purple dried fruits. It's plum, Luxardo cherry, oily raisin, prune. There is still that bit of orange, which is followed by some wood sugars and a stronger oak note, a bit of tannin and astringency; the mouthfeel is medium, and a we end with some light nuttiness. Finish: The finish is generally medium length, lots of cozy warmth from the sherry, with those prunes, raisins, and dark cherry; those fruits are slightly acidic and dried, and there's even a hint of stone fruit from peach or nectarine at times. It's oily, and there is some lingering oak there, slightly drying, and ends with just a bit of wood char. After one of the tastings, about an hour after finishing the glass, a hint of sweet sherry fruit was still coming back to the palate.
KyleRiemen Expert Senior 86 12 oct 2023 5:29 pm
Another year later I had the opportunity to taste this Bunnahabhain again; the cardboard note I had noticed last time was completely gone – a fine whisky! Update 2: Even a newly opened bottle shows no cardboard note, which in turn shows me that whisky is a natural product. Old rating: Almost a year later, I would write a similar review, but this bottling has a rather unpleasant "cardboard" note, especially in the finish. I hope this only applies to the first dram of the bottle.

When first time tasting this whisky I had a WOW moment. This was better than the high expectations that I had! The neck pour was brilliant. After some breathing time the nose and taste are a bit less. Am craving for a bit stronger version. Its rich, sweet (sherry influenced). To me it tastes like loads of raisins and some light salted nuts. Great stuff! And the price is good here. After a while things mellow out a bit, but still great. This bottle will be replaced when empty. Edit: when almost empty it will become a bit sour when left too long in the bottle.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2019/04/03/whiskylive-2019-day-1-part-2/ Bunnahabhain state ‘Small Batch Distilled’ on the label !! C: Very much a savoury, almost sour affair compared to the previous two Deanston. Tastes contemporary with an illusion of youth & age as if there’s 8 and 16yo juice inside. The mouthfeel is where it’s at. Otherwise, there’s something rather innocuous about this current 12yo batch.
