Bunnahabhain 8 yo 2001/2010 (54%, ‘t Woest Genoegen, oloroso, 120 bottles)
We hebben ze head to head afgezet tegen de Bunnahabhain Adelphi, 11y, 1998/2010 , 53,4% en de jongere en goedkopere clubbotteling van 't Woest Genoegen kon zeer goed bijbenen. Goede keuze dus van de whiskyclub uit Nijmegen.
Colour: amber.
Nose: classic dry sherry of the highest quality, all on flints, orange marmalade, white pepper, leather, roasted chestnuts, smoked tea and ginger. Gets then rounder, as often, with more honey and maybe molasses.
With water: eucalyptus and mint coming through now. A little aniseed as well, then raw barley, porridge, wet clothes, wool and a little cardboard.
Mouth (neat): much sweeter now, with many sweet spices, orange blossom, rosewater, honeydew, pine sap, millionaire shortbread… Almost thick but not cloying, not a all. Quite unBunnahabhain!
With water: more of the same, with a little more honey.
Finish: long, with more pepper as often. Toffee and black pepper in the aftertaste.
Comments: an unusual young Bunnahabhain and an entertaining one. SGP:552 - 87 points
