Single Malts of Scotland (distilled at Bunnahabhain) 25 year old, 50.4%

Price: 206 Issue: Spring 2015 Reviewer: Dave Broom Category: Single Malt Scotch

Gold. Quite sweet and spicy nose. Light cinnamon and that distillery ginger edge. There remains a light cereal aspect to the background, but it is considerably more youthful than the age suggests. The palate is equally sweet and direct, with excellent spicy concentration. Water shows that there is some weight here, reminiscent of honey-nut cornflakes (with cream). The nose now hints at some oxidation, the palate retains peppery freshness. It's another I'd have kept in cask.£135
