| Review #281 |
From the
series Xtra Old Particular from Douglas Laing comes this Bunnahabhain from a
refill butt. It is cask number DL 10704 and only 258 bottles were made. The
smell is so soft! Some sweet seaweed if you can imagine. Caramelized sugar on
fresh baked bread.
It is very
salty, light citrusy, lightly peated and just full of flavors in the taste. The
51 % really does its magic in the finish. The oak really comes forward and
starts to dominate.
Let it
breathe and play with water, and you will have a whisky that keeps giving and
giving. I notice new things every sniff and every sip. The price tag is a bit
high though, but pass the 40 years on Islay whiskies, and they will all be up
there… I will give this 89/100 (22/21/22/24).
