Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: An attractive mix of fresh cherries, sweet, over-ripe grapes and much earthier, drier malt.

Palate: Clean, intense malty start which continues. Fruitiness arrives towards the middle with toasty oak.

Finish: A dry finish with that massive malt still pursuing its relentless course.

Comment: One of the most enjoyable Bunnas I've tasted though missing that breathtaking freshness.

Score: 7.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Lots of sherry. Ginger marmalade and toast.

Palate: More of the same, but the grassy, briny, distillery character emerges later.

Finish: Salty and appetising.

Comment: A breakfast whisky for the truly decadent.

Score: 8
