The Bunnahabhain 2012 single malt whisky is a remarkable release from independent bottler Signatory Vintage, meticulously matured in a single first-fill sherry butt for nine years before being bottled in April 2022 as part of its Cask Strength Collection. This Islay dram, hailing from the prestigious Bunnahabhain distillery, boasts a robust ABV of 65.6% and is limited to just 624 bottles, making it a true collector's item.
On the nose, this whisky presents a delightful combination of moss, barley sugar, and peanut butter, intertwined with dried fruit and fresh all-butter pastries. Rich vanilla cream and the astringent skin of almonds add further depth, complemented by the bitterness of cacao, tannins from the barrels, and the aroma of roasted coffee beans. Darkly brewed Assam black tea, the sweetness and sourness of fresh plums, apricot jam, and raisins, alongside a hint of cinnamon and licorice, complete this aromatic profile.
The palate offers an intriguing mix of espresso, baking spices, and garden herbs, with subtle smoke rounding out the experience. The rich and fragrant taste of barley chocolate is interwoven with coffee and sweet cream, dark chocolate bitterness, and the unique sweetness of prune juice. Toast with sweet peanut butter, orange peel, and the bitterness of burnt roasted beans contribute to a complex and satisfying tasting journey.
The finish is long and satisfying, characterized by notes of Christmas cake, anise, and the bitterness of cacao chocolate. Rum raisins, the sweetness of raw yatsuhashi, burnt parts of pie dough, roasted coffee beans, and orange chocolate provide a layered and enduring conclusion. A light Assam black tea leaf and the faint dry scent of vegetable leather leave a lingering impression, making each sip memorable.
This whisky is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast, showcasing the exceptional quality and unique flavor profile of Bunnahabhain single malt whisky. The use of a first-fill sherry butt adds depth and complexity to the whisky, resulting in a truly unforgettable tasting experience.
