Bunnahabhain 12 year old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bunnahabhain 12 year old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Nose;  Oatmeal, pancake, tobacco, mocha, cinnamon, cola, paper mill, touch of wintergreen.

Taste:  Tea, orange rind, brown sugar, oak, bourbon, slightest hint of smoke, spice, pepper.

Finish:  Herbs, parsley, oak, oak, and oak, a touch of brine, a hint of the sea, and a bit of low-tide earthiness.  Also a mild almond cookie, (windmill cookie), and a sort of cedar essence.

Quite a wonderful and complex whisky.  As if an Islay whisky were married to a fine bourbon.  Very much worth a try!  Cheers!
