The Single Malts of Scotland 11 Year Old Bunnahabhain 2010

Details

Distilled at the Bunnahabhain distillery in 2010 and aged for more than 11 years in a single ex-Sherry Butt, which yielded a total of 609 bottles. This Bunnahabhain is entwined with rich smokiness, intense heat, and a hint of fruit.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Dark chocolate chips mingle with crispy autumn leaves at first. This leads on to the freshness of menthol, as well as some creamy caramel. Smoked meats arrive next.

Palate: Sweet hickory smoke permeates the palate, complemented by honey drizzled on pear slices. A hint of fiery spice brings further intrigue to this layered palate, in the form of Szechuan pepper.

Finish: A slightly tannic, floral finish with citrus notes – like taking a sip of Lady Grey tea from a china teacup.
