Year sampled: 2009
About: Bunnahabhain is the northernmost distillery on reknown Isle of Islay. The extremely peaty scotches for which this island is known are made on the south side of the island. The name is only four syllables.
Color: I'm surprised at myself for forgetting to write down the color, especially considering how annoyed I was with their green bottle!
Nose: Cherry, almond, vanilla, Indian spices, cinnamon, cardamom, dark rum, granola, peaches, honey, peace
Palate: Spicy, full, bitter toffee
Finish: Strong peat, but pleasant, lingering (sides of mouth, front of tongue), oily, hypnotic
Comments: This is some yummy stuff. If I hadn't known, I would have guessed it was a highland scotch.
