Bunnahabhain

Bunnahabhain
12 Year Old Islay, 40% vol

Appearence:
Amber.

Aroma:
A delicate nose, misty; starts simple, becomes more (straight) complex. The first impression is of drifting smoke, which passes, to be replaced by clean, fruit-associated scents of nectarines, rum-toft and oil of orange.
(dilute) With water, the fruit scents become estery and the smoke takes on a burnt match note (or the sandpaper striker on a box of matches). Faint hint of rubber.

Flavour:
The mouthfeel is delicate, drying and mouth-cooling. The overall effect is refreshing. This comes from a distinct minty-toffee flavour, with some smoke in the finish.

Development:
After time the smoke vanishes altogether and aromas reduce to almost nothing.
