The Toiteach showed me what Bunnahabhain could do with peat, and I wanted more. I was intrigued by this when I saw it as a peated Bunnahabhain, but didn’t pull the trigger on it until that first exposure encouraged me to go ahead and get a bottle of this one and the Toiteach a dhà.
Minutia: Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Deep copper, 1.0.
Nose: Grassy, hint of smoke, nut-adjacent aroma I can’t place.
Taste: Smoky malt, pepper, creamy. Bit of an “off” note but not unpleasant.
Finish: Nutty, creamy smoke, spice. Medium-long.
It falls shy of the Toiteach, but it’s still a nice example of what Bunnahabhain can make with peated barley.
Score: 85
Musical Evocation: Emma Ruth Rundle – “Run Forever”
