Provenance Bunnahabhain Y&F (Islay) (700 ml)

Nose: Cereal, lightly peated, sweet and no smoke, a bit spirity with new make notes but not much – it’s young, no doubt and it adds a bit of mischievousness to the table. Sweet fruit notes – mostly tropical: pineapple, pulped bananas leaves, vanilla. Full nose and not dry at all while providing some meaty feeling.

Palate: Starts with big peat bang, didn’t expect this from a Bunna that smelled so lightly peated. Continue with big wave of sweetness – fruits (tropical) and sweet chili spices.

Finish: Medium long length, lingering sweetness with some trace of oak and peat but mostly mild candies sweetness.

Conclusion: This whisky is indeed Young & Feisty as it’s peatier then your average Bunna bottlings. Definitely a good young Bunna showing (most of the time) maturity beyond its age and with a reasonable price tag, it’s a good addition to the whisky shelf. Slainte!
