Bunnahabhain 12yr Unpeated Review (WWR #199)
Переглядів 39Місяць тому
Bunnahabhain is a single malt scotch from the island of Islay. Even though Islay is traditionally known for it's high peat content, Bunnahabhain created a 12 year product that is unpeated. Does this change what it means to be an Islay whisky? Should they add a little peat so it differentiates itself form Speyside?

    0 peat is used in the process. The water sourcing is from a local natural spring. In addition the water in the area is some of the cleanest/clearest water in the region. They do make 1 SKU that is peated. "Toiteach A Dha". Another peated option from the same master blended would be from Ledaig. Much softer peat IMO with lots of great fruit notes.

    It isn't just additive tequila people who don't care for Gritona, there are those who go additive free who also don't care for it. It isn't bad but is over-hyped, rather mediocre, and, for something reportedly free of additives, has hints of the artificial. In some locales, this is nearly $60 USD, more than double what it's worth.

    MidleTON distillery never sourced their whiskeys from Jameson. I think you mean Mitchell and Son's which was a wine shop in Dublin when Jameson was also in Dublin. Now the spots are distilled in Midleton near Cork where Jameson is also distilled. Before 1966 Jameson, Powers and Midleton were big competitors and they only converged on one location because they were all dying and they came to the realization that only together could they survive. They built a new distillery on the site of the Midleton distillery in 1975 and the rest is history. I'm a big fan of Blue Spot and Red Spot and always have Green Spot around. All of the Spots, Redbreast, Jameson, Paddys, Powers, Midleton Very Rare and until recently Tullamore D.E.W. were all distilled in the New Midleton Distillery. Tullamore D.E.W. is now distilled back in Tullamore since William Grant and Sons (Glennfiddich, Balvenie) bought it. It's quite extraordinary that so many different types of Whiskey can come out of the same distillery but they built the New Midleton Distillery just for that purpose and they can reconfigure which distillate goes where quickly to get what they want. If you take the tour at Midleton you will see the Old Midleton Distillery that they used up until 1975 however if you do the Distiller's Apprentice tour you get to go through the New Midleton Distillery where all current production comes from. Oh, by the way, great job on looking up (or already knowing) about Malaga fortified wines. For the most part I stopped watching UA-cam videos on whisky because people don't research anything before reading the label on-camera. Anyway, thanks for putting in the time and effort. Cheers!

      That's the beauty about whisky. Everyone has a different palette and no one is wrong. To me, I like my Islay Scotch to be peaty, smokey, and somewhat spicy in comparison. The Caribbean rum Cask just added this molasses note that didn't go well in my opinion with the medicinal/iodine note that is buried in here. Glad you like it though. I mean, I'm still goin to finish the bottle :) cheers!

Head coach situation is interesting, we'll probably talk about it in an episode as the season gets closer.
