1990s Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Litre

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Nutty, leathery sherry with a nicely saline and meaty edge. This kind of sinewed, chunky sherry / coastal profile is something I find extremely ‘Bunnahabhain’. Develops some beautiful notes of wet leaves, mushrooms, walnut oil and hessian.

Mouth: Big, salty, earthy, robust sherry with plenty of tobacco, walnuts, leather and a persistent and wonderful saltiness. Salted almonds and some top quality old Amontillado. More of these meaty tones, bouillon stock, game meats, putty and some cough medicines.

Finish: Good length, still on these leathery, umami, salty, meaty and nutty sherried qualities.
