Bunnahabhain 7 YO (Cadenhead Original Collection), 46 %

An independent bottling from Cadenhead. This young Bunnahabhain has been mature exclusively in refill sherry casks.

The Bunnahabhain 7 YO (Cadenhead Original Collection) will set you back NOK 865 (15160501).

Nose: Distinct wood smoke with a touch of the maritime. Dark chocolate with pencil shavings and chili flakes. The smoke and peat keeps morphing and soon takes on the welcome and expected notes of smoked bacon and sweet barbecue sauce.

Taste: Medium to full body. Smoky and big on flavor. Meaty and chocolaty. Tomato vine and earthy vanilla.

Finish: Medium to short finish. More smoke and chocolate. More salty and medicinal now. Green hints of mint in the end.

Comment: I do like my peaty whiskys young and feisty like this.

Score 86/100
