Omschrijving:
(www.whiskyfun.com) Bunnahabhain 31 yo 1976/2008 (46.5%, Jack Wieber, Old Train Line, refill sherry, cask #3128, 324 bottles) Colour: straw. Nose: this one if a fresh, fruity, natural and clean version of Bunnahabhain. Orange scented candles, cut apples and melons, bergamot flavoured tea… It’s also rather flowery (violets and lilies of the valley), with hints of wildness in the background (forest, wet herbs, wet farmyard) and just faint whiffs of coal smoke. The whole is very delicate, rather complex and sort of introspective. Intellectual? Mouth: once again, this one isn’t an extravagant bunny at all. Sure it’s a little more ‘directly’ fruity than on the nose, and more ‘directly’ expressive as well, but it needs quite some time to unfold and to display its numerous layers: fresh fruits, then soft spices, then various herbal teas and finally very pleasant phenolic hints (oils, resins). And then we’re back on fresh fruits (peaches and bananas). Finish: rather long, a tad grassier and oakier now, with salty touches again. Comments: exactly the opposite of the 1985. This one needs time but then it offers a very entertaining journey. SGP:641 – 89 points.
