Here and forthcoming are each of my reviews of the Bunnahabhains I have acquired from the same distillation conducted independently.
Bunnahabhain 7, 2013 Vintage, Scotch Malt Whisky Society 10.213, Islay Single Malt, 60.5% ABV
Minutia: Distilled on October 17, 2013 and matured a 2nd fill Oloroso Sherry butt for 7 years yielding 577 bottles. This is part of the Heavily Peated flavor profile named “A slice of peat-heaven”. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Old gold amber, 0.6.5.
Nose: Ashy smoke/charcoal.
Taste: Embers, grill char. Something sweet hiding there.
Finish: Smoke, hint of salt. A used pipe. Medium-long.
Really quite nice. It’s not complex, but it is focused on what it offers and does it well.
Score: 87
Musical Evocation: Iron Maiden – “Heaven Can Wait”
