Lets do a 2-part trip back to this overlooked distillery on Islay's north-east coast.
Both bottling are from the 70's... one the start and one from the end of the decade...
Bunnahabhain 1970 38yo 40,3%, ex-bourbon cask#4073, 221 bottles, Duncan Taylor
Deep gold in colour
Nose:
Here’s
exactly what I love in old Bunna - tropical fruits galore! The whole thing just
seems more lively and fresh and at only 40,3%
Taste:
Spices, citrus and
other tropical fruits, salt and some oak to keep it all in balance. The Bunna heavy malt notes creeps in along with the oak in perfect measure – just
beautiful – not going to elaborate further on this one – it’s just
a beautiful old Bunna with everything you can wish for!
91/100!
