Bunnahabhain Heavy peat, Wilson & Morgan (en)



This very affordable bottle of 40 euros made a very good impression and finished with an average of 83.78 points. But the differences between the highest and the lowest note is quite large, 22 points indicating a bottle that does not please everybody. But to get a better idea, you should watch all the notes as always in case of large deviations.
Here are the notes extremes:

Arno
Nose: first, the match, and the smell of wet rock. Peat and roasted meat accents. Ash and smell of the fireplace after. Old leather and precious wood. A bit of black olive and salt. Very engaging.
Mouth: roasted, caramelized, roasted, meaty, ashed, mineral. Beautiful variation on this peaty register ! Animal & leather. Pepper also. A powerful mouth, but quite melted and rounded.
Final: the roasted grain and flaming logs.
Conclusion: this one finally very focused on a single register (empyreumatic), but I like it ! A quite accurate work.
89/100
Jbrice
Nose: farmer, sulfur, brine, peat, pear spirit. After a long aeration, I really feel to smell a jar of pickles.
Taste: Smoke, drink. Mouth much better than the nose.
Finish: long on smoke
67/100
