Bunnahabhain 1966 Hart Brothers | £450.00 |
Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Smoke melding with fresh sea breezes. Could that be the puffer leaving for Glasgow?
- Palate
- Rich, creamy body. Fresh flavours. Unusually estery. Ginger toffee. Becoming nutty.
- Finish
- Dusty. Spice-shop. Long and warming.
- Comment
- The blood-orange hue suggests that this Bunnahabhain will in all senses be more colourful than the gentle 12 Years Old we normally encounter. Sun-dried whisky?
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Heavy wood influence hits immediately. Leather, pipe smoke, Armagnac like (prune nut and earth).
- Palate
- A sweet start, the (tannic) wood puts a grip on things pretty quickly but there's still some attractive sweet honey notes/apple sponge in centre.
- Finish
- Ginger then roses and spice.
- Comment
- It's more Jerez than Islay. I can‘t help feeling this would have been a cracker a few years ago.
