Notes for Cask # 32

does not remind me of a Bunna at all, but rather of a young Bruichladdich ala PC in profile, I find this malt very sweet and malty. For almost 60%, however, the alcohol appears to be quite well integrated.

Overall I rate this Whisky 83/100 points

  • Nose: 83/100 points
    sweet smoke shows up very briefly when you remove the cover from the glass. Then it becomes very sweet, lots of light fruits, malty, vanilla

  • Taste: 83/100 points
    Sweet with vanilla and light fruits, malt, then pepper and it gets spicy, slightly ashy mouthfeel in the background

  • Finish: 83/100 points
    strong finish, very sweet, malty and very slightly fruity, some vanilla
