Tasting Notes

A captivating dance between smoke and sweetness, this Bunnahabhain 9 Year Old 2012 whisky unveils layers of complexity with each sip. The gentle caress of smoke intertwines with the alluring notes of orange chocolate, evoking a sense of warmth and indulgence. As rock salt and fresh herbs chime in, a delightful contrast unfolds, reminiscent of a coastal breeze wafting through an herb garden. The palate is seduced by the velvety embrace of mint chocolate, while burnt baking spices add a tantalizing depth. Sherried dried fruit and black pepper lend a burst of vibrancy, ensuring each sip is an adventure. The finish lingers with a harmonious blend of spice, nuts, and jammy cherries, leaving a lasting imprint of sheer delight. Meticulously crafted from a pair of sherry butts and bottled after nine years of patient maturation, this Islay single malt from Càrn Mòr's Strictly Limited range is a true testament to the art of whisky-making.
