Bunnahabhain 12 was tasted at Meeting No. 2 on June 28, 2012. Out of 5, we rated it very highly at 3.44. Bunnahabhain 12 ranks 27th overall in Scotch.
Dark musty leather and rum. Dried fruit. Where's my leather chair? Oily and lingering. There's something I can't decode. Exotic and inviting.
Nose: Vanilla cognac. Hot. Earthy, like rich loam; tastes faintly of a pile of burning leaves. With a few drops of water, the flavor evens out & spreads smoothly. Toffee.
Oily, smokey, smooth. Cinnamon.
Sour burning nasal passages. Rum-ish taste. Metallic.
Creamy and light. Slight peat, no burn. With water the sweetness comes to the surface.
