Bunnahabhain 'Single Malts of Scotland' 2009 / 12 years old 55.3%

Filled from a single ex-sherry butt, again showing a relatively mild wood influence, this Bunnahabhain is very typical of its style, waxy, fruity and nutty. With flavours of of roasted nut & fruit mix, there is also the classic note of beeswax and honeycomb coming through. There is a creamyness to the palate, with fruit leather and a drying, salty minerality - a classic unpeated Bunnahabhain from the northern reaches of Islay.
