Back in february we bought this stunner of a Bunnahabhain by Wemyss Malts. We liked it so much, that we forgot to meticulously write down our notes.  Instead, we sat back and relaxed. And that for many times after our initial purchase. Now the bottle is already half empty, so we thought it would be a good time to fulfill our promise.

This Bunnahabhain is blended together from 28 bourbon hogsheads and 3 sherry butts, ranging from 1987 to 1991. All the details are on the inside of the box, which is a great touch of transparency. It’s bottled at 49.1% and of course non-chill-filtered and without colouring. Here’s how this wonderfully crafted whisky by Wemyss from one of our favourite distilleries tastes like:

This whisky is very consistent, we haven’t had a moment where it didn’t deliver. It tastes old, but juicy nonetheless. The bourbon vs sherry cask ratio is spot on. It practically defines our favourite kind of taste, so we can’t really find anything bad to say about this. We forgive Wemyss who spelled “Bunnahabain” wrong on the label ;)
