Bunnahabhain 1991-2013 21yo (#5369) Dimensions by Duncan Taylor

A guest review by Jan Temming

Duncan Taylor is known for laying premium Scottish cask for decades. Therefore Duncan Taylor has built quite an impressive collection of vintage and rare Scottish whisky’s. Let’s have a look at  this 21yo Bunnahabhain, bottled in 1991:

Tasting notes


Nose

Maybe strange, but the fragrance of an old wardrobe comes at first, notes of tropical fruits like pineapple and peaches will follow soon. There are also hints of pencil shavings, mint leaves and old vinyl-records.

Palate

A lovely tropical sweetness, hints of wood, vanilla, whipped cream and milk chocolate rise to the surface.

Finish

The finish is long, soft and comes in different layers. The taste of vanilla combined with milk chocolate lasts.

This dram Is definitely worth the 21yo age statement, it’s mature in every sense! Hence the hints of old wardrobe and vinyl-records?
