Bunnahabhain Tri Carragh Release No. 1 Single Bourbon Cask Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old · 2013 Vintage

Colour

Pale gold, Chardonnay. European oak 2 nd -fill cask? Moderate beading (owing to its youth)

Nose

A mild nose-feel, with considerable prickle. The first impression is of fruit loaf (with sultanas) – very light, and soon joined by light medicinal and maritime notes (Elastoplast, sea salt, edible seaweed), on a base of warm sand. The latter becomes more earthy at reduced strength; the fruit loaf notes return and maritime notes reduced.

Palate

A creamy mouthfeel and a taste which starts sweet, becomes slightly salty and finishes hot and spicy (at natural strength). Similar at reduced strength, but more accessible.
