NWS Been there and have it open
If you've cracked the pronunciation (we get it, it takes a few goes) then it's time to crack the Father's Day gift!
You know we're huge fans of Bunnahabhain Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky at MoM HQ, and the 18 year-old really doesn't disappoint! 🥃 This rich, complex beauty has spent nearly two decades lounging in a mix of sherry and bourbon casks, soaking up all the good stuff. Bottled at 46.3% ABV without chill-filtration or added colouring (because why mess with perfection?), it serves up layers of sweet, fruity, and savoury deliciousness.
Notes to note:
👃 Nose
Salted caramel leading to sticky toffee pudding sprinkled with nutmeg. With time a leathery quality emerges.
👅 Palate
Dense, rich sherried notes perked up with a coastal saltiness. On a second wave roast chestnuts emerge and gentle wood spice.
🥃 Finish
Woodspice becomes mixed spice. The finish is warming and lengthy; salt and sherry towards the very end.
