I only recently located the 2021, and heard that the 2022 was better. After obtaining a bottle of the 2022, I wholeheartedly agree with your score. I quickly snapped up 4 more bottles. My whisky budget is shot until April, but sipping this, and Port Charlotte 9 SC, I aint complaining. Cheers, Alan🥃
I have one of these coming for Christmas! It is due to arrive on Wednesday! I was looking forward to it before. Now I'm really excited to dig into it. New Microphone sounds good.
Oh man, I can't find this one here in Brazil. At least I just ordered a second bottle of the regular Bunna 12... what a freaking treat. My favorite 12 year old by a mile. I would get this one in a heartbeat if I managed to find it and the price was right. I wish they would do a 1l bottle of the bunna 12.
We feel very honoured you've struggled against the elements into the shed just for us.... ...but I doubt if it was just for us and not at all for the Bunnahabhain. Have not had this years expression. Last years I liked (read: good, but not blown away), and kinda curious about this years expression, though based on your description it might be too much sherried for my palate. Thanks for reviewing, Alan. Slàinte mhath
Thanks for dropping by Frank... I think you will love this bunna 12 Cs, yes it's sherried and spicy, however it has some real dunnage damp dirty notes yes it fruity however it's more than that.. It has lovely salty coastal savory element buddy... You'll love it... If not ill buy it of you... Cheers Frank...
Merry Christmas Alan thanks for your great videos this year. I l8ked last year’s Bunna 12 CS , so can’t wait until this one hits our Australian shores.Cheers! Have a safe and healthy 2023.
Happy Holidays Alan - and great to see your enthusiasm for this one,. I did grab 2 of the 2021 release, which is enjoyable, but not great like this one sounds! I was thinking it was an 86 or 87. I will definitely grab one of these - or two - if I can when they become available here. I am happy that I finally have a 2022 Longrow Red 15 yo arriving tomorrow. I wishh you and yours a safe and happy New Year - thanks for all you do for us whisky fans! GaryK
Got very mixed reviews with the first release of the CS so I didn't tried or bought one yet, the second release now in 2022 really seems to get much better reviews, need to try it! ... Killkeran 8yo 57,1% 💯 too
@@thewhiskyfriend Alan, just cracked at midnight. Fantastic stuff. Perfect for Christmas! HUGE sherry with salty cashews and some chocolate to go with a bit of oak!! CHEERS!
Great video again Alan. I just bought a few Glenfarclas and Glenallachie bottles for this December. So I have no more whisky-budget for this year... 😁😁. But I love Bunna also.
You enjoy those Glenfarclas drams Andre, however. If you see the bunna 12 Cs 2022 you must pick it up fella it's going to be legendary.. Festive best wishes to you and yours from me and mine.... Cheers Andre....
This is sensational stuff. Most Scotch mist I've ever seen. Although it's at the top end of my price range I'm going to get a second bottle as it is clearly a future classic and this batch won't be around forever.
Mate, i bet youre glad you got that 2nd bottle - I know I am - my 1st bottle is long gone now and I'm eyeing off the 2nd, but I'm determined to keep it sealed for at least a couple of years. its basically become unobtanium now in early Jan 2024 - I'm so happy I picked it up - its definitely my equal 1st WOTY with Glenallachie 10 CS Batch 7 (seriously - grab a bottle now - they are still around and it has a lot in common with this exceptional dram).
@thisarfingai yes, definitely. I'm still nursing my first bottle - won't be in any rush to crack open the second one. Totally agree there are similarities with the GA CS.
Its awesome my friend but dont worry i have 5 bottles of the GA b7 stashed away and just recently picked up another 2 of the bunna....so all it good here...thanks for dropping by...
And, no surprise, this one comes up next! 🤷♂️ 😁😁😁 Buzzed by your review of what is an absolute brammer of a dram! Get your erse to Islay and I’ll pour you something equally or even more awesome. 😂👍🥃
Planning to pay islay a visit at some point in 2023....drop me an email to alanwilson15@sky.com and I will reach out when I'm organised David... Cheers fella.... 🥃👍😛
I've got a bottle on it's way, hope I can get another. Your collection is fantastic, too. The Arrans, the Kilchoman, Kilkerran, Springbank Cask Strength and 15, I can tell you are a man of taste! I just got a bottle of the Kilkerran Heavily Peated and it was AMAZING!!! Get one if you can! Thanks for your vid! Is that an Arran Master of Malt I see??
🎉 what? Sherry? You know that I’m in! Apparently a fantastic scotch along with a fantastic review. What price should I expect to pay for this? Cheers All!
You did Peter I'm a massive Glenallachie fan as you know but the bunna 12 Cs is in a league of its own my friend... You need this one in your life my friend its epic whisjy
I bought last years. Massively below par. I know this is a different batch, but it was so meh last year, it’ll be a while before Bunna get anymore of my money. Currently tucking into a bottle of Highland Park 12 Orkneyinga Legacy. That My Whisky Friend is a true gem (from 2018!) 👌🏻
No kidding with this one folks, this EPIC WHISKY, big contender for woty.....awesome stuff
Just had this on Friday night. A great dram. Love it.
Nice review. No chance oh hell to get it in Belgium. Tried all the shops. Even in the online store in Holland. Cheers mate
you need to find this fella....need to....

I opened my bottle and I am just enjoying it so much. Great review and perfect dram for winter. Cheers
Couldn't agree more! thanks for dropping by my friend....
I have one of these coming for Christmas! It is due to arrive on Wednesday! I was looking forward to it before. Now I'm really excited to dig into it. New Microphone sounds good.
My you have some extra joy coming your way for Xmas Mike... LSt me know what you think of it my friend.... Epic whisky right there fella

@@thewhiskyfriend I noticed! thank you.
Just bought 4 bottles 2022 after finishing one i bought ,loved the first release 2021 but this is much better will se what 2023 brings.
Wow! The colour of that 12yo is insane! 🧐😍🤯

Roy, Ralfy, everyone seems to love this whisky. You convinced me to buy it Alan 😂. Even with the crazy UK > EU shipping costs…

@@thewhiskyfriend Thank you Alan. I wish you and your Marie also a wonderful Christmas . Cheers, André
Big, big score mate. I can't believe I didn't buy this, considering how much I love the standard B12. Merry Christmas to you and the family. Cheers.
You still can Al... And sending festive blessings to you and yours from me and mine... Take care Al...

INCREDIBLE WHISKY....BEST bottle since the KILKERRAN 8 CHARRED OLOROSO 57.1....IMO of course.....

Just managed to pick up a bottle of Bunna Moine oloroso for Christmas and can't wait to crack that one fella....
Just bought a campbeltown loch and it is a good pour for £40
It's wonderful fella
I bought cutty Sark whisky for £25 and it was fantastic. It is 50 abv,non chill filtered and natural colour judging by the dark bottle.
beautiful stuff my friend.... this bunna 12 cs however !!!!
👍mic sounds way better Alan. That sounds like a cracking dram! Merry Christmas 🎄🎅⛄🦌
I've got a bottle on it's way, hope I can get another. Your collection is fantastic, too. The Arrans, the Kilchoman, Kilkerran, Springbank Cask Strength and 15, I can tell you are a man of taste!

$75 dollars apparently in the US get that stash filled fella....festive best wishes to you and yours from me and mine....cheers buddy
wow, Amazing review - cheers
Please make a video of your whole shelf - one of each giving 10 seconds to each bottle :) it will be amazing :) you have amazing bottles ....cheers
Can you do top maritime malts ? Thanks In advance
Could be a plan in early 2023...plesse remind me... Cheers fella
Don't you get all this with the Glenallachie without the astringent bitter finish?
I was so disappointed with the 2021 that I just didn’t bother getting a bottle as I’d just got 2 batch 8 Glenallachie. Sounds like I made a mistake
You did Peter I'm a massive Glenallachie fan as you know but the bunna 12 Cs is in a league of its own my friend... You need this one in your life my friend its epic whisjy
@@thewhiskyfriend I’ll take your recommendation! The batch 8 is brilliant stuff, I’ll do a head to head with the Bunna. Doon the hatch and happy xmas
Festive blessings to you and yours from me and mine my friend.... media.tenor.com/Znyu2ndBCN0AAAAM/leonardo-dicaprio-toast.gif
Just not absolutely sure if you liked it Alan?
Loved it fella...
*awesome whiskey*
I bought last years. Massively below par. I know this is a different batch, but it was so meh last year, it’ll be a while before Bunna get anymore of my money. Currently tucking into a bottle of Highland Park 12 Orkneyinga Legacy. That My Whisky Friend is a true gem (from 2018!) 👌🏻
This one is in a different league Mendip...
You almost never bought this beenie. Mistake?
