Bunnahabhain 1977 Over 40 Artist #12 – 70cl
$3,588.00 SGD
A real star of the 12th Artist series from La Maison du Whisky, this single malt from Bunnahabhain was distilled all the way back in 1977, and matured for 40 years in a refill butt. In 2022 a limited number of 546 bottles were released. Pretty special stuff for fans of the Islay-based distillery.

Description
Colour : Old gold with green reflections
Nose : Ample, deep. Incredibly fresh, the initial nose is at once vanilla, lemony, minty and honeyed [acacia]. After aeration, a green and rural landscape emerges. Dandelion flowers, scents of buttercup and honeysuckle divinely perfume the surrounding atmosphere. Farther away from the aromatic palette remains the imprint of a diaphanous peat. Gorgeous.
Palate : Rich, concentrated. Remarkably saline, the attack on the palate is marked by flavors of glasswort and green liquorice. Slender, the mid-palate reveals an invigorating malty bitterness. Then, spices [cinnamon, clove, nutmeg] spread voluptuously on each side of the palate. Gradually, fine particles of soot and dust appear.
Finish : Long, fresh. Adorned with a delicate exoticism [pineapple, plantain], the start of the finish recalls the liquorice stick glimpsed on the attack, which closely links these two tasting sequences. Infused with plants [chamomile, sage], the aftertaste takes on bright green hues. Resplendent with maturity, the retro-nasal olfaction evokes blocks of dry peat rich in silt and algae. From the empty glass escape aromas of precious wood, hemp and dark chocolate.
ABV 47.20%
