Bunnahabhain 1989/2016 First Edition

Distilled in 1989, this whisky was bottled for the First Edition series by Edition Spirits, Andrew and Scott Laing, sons of Stewart, creators of Douglas Laing and Hunter Laing.

TASTING NOTES BUNNAHABHAIN 1989/2016 FIRST EDITION

Nose

intensity above medium, spicy and fruity notes are perceived. On one side yellow apple, pear and unripe banana, on the other side hints of white pepper, ginger and camphor. After a couple minutes,notes of pastry, butter and coconut emerge. Good complexity.

Palate

medium intensity, perfect correspondence with the nose. Spicy wood notes emerge, white pepper and coffee beans followed by fruit, again yellow apple, ripe banana and pear. A certain astringency is perceptible.

Finale

medium persistence. Peat is reconfirmed, flanked by citrus fruits that refresh the aromatic bouquet.

Kilchoman 100% Islay 9th Edition is a direct and straight malt. It embodies the personality of Islay whiskeys and is therefore a bottling close to peat lovers. The aromatic bouquet is intense, although not particularly broad.

Rating: 87
