Bunnahabhain 10 years, Le Puits à Whisky (Jean Boyer) (en)

This  young and affordable Bunnahabhain  has not fallen despite the strong competition in which he dealt. Although it ends in sixth position, but still with a very honorable score: 80.59 points.
Again, the term does not belong to unanimously WDTS dictionary, as this bottle has obtained between 89 and 65 points, a difference of 24 points. It is true that its relatively low alcohol level makes it less spectacular and all its qualities are in the nuance.Some prefer more frankness in a whisky. Others enjoy more the finesse.

Mars

Nose: Nuts, figs, chocolate, tangerine, oily, grapes. Palate: Oily, rough, peach and mandarin. Pleasant. Final: Figs, nuts, chocolate, mandarin, spices, delicate exotic fruit, cinnamon. Average longer. Comments: Very pleasant to drink, nice marriage between the fruits and the aromas of the sherry. Aeration destroyed the balance a little. Water didn't add anything

Blackmalt	Color: gold Discrete and fresh nose. A bit of sweet caramel and cold coffee with a smell of old waxed and dusty furniture. Frankly not all that terrible. It is soft, very dull and expressionless. I feel nothing else. Though, alcohol burning nose. Mouth over this. Bitter. And that's all. At least it is in line with the nose. Short and bitter finish. Maybe a little spice back ... That's it. Comment: 65 just for the continuity of the three sets. Namely, a sad trio. My notes are short but I do not know what else to say. If this alcohol has the 40% required for the name "whisky"?
Dede	Color: White Wine Nose: The first contact is austere, mineral (chalk). Not very engaging. A little fruit shading (pear), vanilla fragrance and especially grappa is becoming more and more dominant. The second tasting confirmed the dominance of grape brandy. Palate: The attack is watery and the middle not very expressive. Without it being burning, there is still the taste of alcohol, and a certain sweetness tempered by hints of wet cardboard. Perhaps a hint of citrus acidity and also still those notes of brandy second tasting confirmed. Final:: Short and not very tasty. Conclusion: I may have missed something somewhere, but this malt seems to have very little to tell. These scents grappa remind me a whisky which is very young, immature, yet there is nothing repulsive here, that seems to confirm the second tasting.

For this kind of bottles where  longest notes the are the most severe, it is important to see all feedback about this whisky during this session, not to remain on an apparently negative a priori: http:// www.whisky-distilleries.info/WhiskyWDTS/2012-01/Bottle5_EN.shtml.
