An interesting youthful Bunna, a dram dictated by the Moine Cask, making it very smoky
Slightly meaty, BBQ peat smoke, surprising for a Bunna
Definitely the smokiest Bunna I’ve drank, with an added layer of honeyed sweetness
The finish & aftertaste is where the dram becomes noticeably sweeter & even slightly bitter & spicy showing its youthfulness, signs of the typical Bunna fruitiness
Typical old sherried nose, dates, prunes, dark dried fruits
Definitely amongst the sweetest whisky I’ve drank, on one hand it definitely is able to mask the youthfulness of an 11yo whisky but on the other hand it is just sweet and taste more like a dessert wine
Definitely a very sherried nose, dark fruits, sweet, raisins
The body is overwhelmingly sherried sweet & fruity, almost no sign of Tobermory, a very cask-dominant dram
Definitely a sweet & spicy finish
A very sweet & honeyed Clynelish, slightly waxy
Runs slightly hot & spicy, long finish
Light, fruity, very pleasant nose, sweet, oranges, slightly zesty, hints of vanilla & creamy
The palate is definitely sweet & oranges, taste younger than the age suggest
Slightly menthol & spicy, lingering finish

Honestly this does not feel like a whisky from the 1960s, a good dram with a slightly disappointing finish

Orchards, fresh summer fruits, oranges
Salty, menthol, very spicy, then comes the fruity & sweet
Long mouthcoating, spicy & dry finish
Dried dark fruits, prunes, dark cherries
Very sweet, fruity, surprisingly smoky for a Bunna but still dominantly sweet

Dark fruits, cherry, honey, sweet, slightly menthol, a quite beautiful & complex nose
A delicate balance between sweet, dark fruits, and slight bitterness, like a sweeter old sherried whisky, cranberries, A surprisingly long & mouthcoating finish for a 43% whisky, bitter but not in a terrible way
A very rare Tomatin from the top tier Italian bottler Sestante; good complex Highland dram from the 80s
