Bunnahabhain 24 Year Old 1988 Berry Bros & Rudd for WIN

Berry Brothers & Rudd, the well-known bottler from London, is still in the hands of the families Berry and Rudd. You can find their shop at 3 St James Street, where they have their HQ. Today we are trying a mature Bunna, bottled for WIN - Whisky Import Netherlands. I scored the sample at a festival. It is very, very dark!

Wonderful nose on deep sherry, as I like to call it. Leather, almonds, shoe polish, rum raisins, Maraschino cherries, melon, peach, red apples, praline. Hints of freshly cut grass. Aniseed and a pinch of nutmeg. Chewing tobacco. This is complex and very nice.

Pretty oily on the palate and immediately very sweet. Mouth coating. A bit zesty, even. Orange peel. The raisins are joined by dried figs and juicy plums. Good mix. Pretty spicy as well. Nutmeg, ginger, liquorice and aniseed. Especially the last. Reminds me of salty candy. This is very good indeed.

The mildly drying finish is warm and long.

Great Bunna that balances nicely between salty and sweet. Around 130 EUR.
