Tasting Notes

1 Amber Room Review

An interesting youthful Bunna, a dram dictated by the Moine Cask, making it very smoky

Nose

Slightly meaty, BBQ peat smoke, surprising for a Bunna

Body

Definitely the smokiest Bunna I’ve drank, with an added layer of honeyed sweetness

Finish

The finish & aftertaste is where the dram becomes noticeably sweeter & even slightly bitter & spicy showing its youthfulness, signs of the typical Bunna fruitiness
