Another review of Bunnahabhain and their war on pronounceable whiskies. This is the second edition of their Toiteach expression. I first tried a sample of that and liked it so much I was comfortable buying a bottle of the second iteration. But, did they hit that same mark?
Minutia: Matured I ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. They say with a higher Sherry influence, so I assume that’s relative to the initial Toiteach. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Tawny, 1.4.
Nose: Peaty with slight rubber/medicinal quality. Sweet woodiness/woody Sherry.
Taste: Real light into strongly peppery smoke. Thin.
Finish: Nutmeggy, spicy, green woody smoke.
This is nice, but like the Mòine did not live up to the Toiteach for me. I think I just liked the greater influence of the Bourbon casks that had.
Score: 86
Musical Evocation: Myrkur – “Ulvinde”
