    Yea man this bottle is something special it's definitely 1 of my favourite's I have open at the moment. Not looking forward to trying to replace it tho 😢 only got about half bottle left...Glad you enjoyed it I also like the Laphroaig PX easy to find I get same flavour profile but with a hint of smoke Soooo Freaking good....

    Water does some different things for me. Sometimes, it kind of congeals the flavors and intensifies them and this can add some spice. My favorite is when the flavors shuffle up and it gives me a different experience. But most often, flavors soften up, sometimes not for the better.

    • @whiskeyisajourney

      Adding water has been hit and miss with me, but when it hits it's great.

    Sounds great, 240 is over my limit for scotch category. I almost picked up the bunnahabhain 12 year cask strength, think it was $90, but was looking for a few new bourbon releases at that time so I figured I'd get it another time.

    • @whiskeyisajourney
      @whiskeyisajourney  Місяць тому +1

      In my opinion Bunnahabhain 12 CS is better than this. The only reason I picked it up was for the channel review and maybe someone would want to take a shot at winning a 2 oz sample for the giveaway. It is way too expensive. Cheers!

    • @pillcozby431
      @pillcozby431 Місяць тому

      Definitely get the CS Bunnahabhain. Especially if it is the 2022 bottle. Infact if you see that one.... buy multiples. One of the best whiskies in the past 5 years.

    This is one of my favourite scotch whiskies Peter! I love your thoughts! This is a delicious beauty and for me it's worth the local price! It's fabulous on the nose and even better on my palette and it's viscous! Love it! I got the bitterness in mid palette too. I would have liked the finish to be a bit longer. The orange-chocolate combination is lovely! I love the leather and tobacco! I admit I didn't add water! I have to try water to see what it's like! I love the cask info! Much appreciated! I had no idea! I really enjoyed this video a lot!! - as always!! I have never been to the Feis Ile Festival on Islay but I'd love to go! I have been to many of the Scottish distilleries and in particular the Islay distilleries. But others too! Cheers! Greetings to Mary Bridget!! 🙂

      Thanks. I think it's over priced, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get it. I didn't think I'd have another opportunity to get one so I shelled out the money and hopefully people will have some interest in it for the giveaway. We will see. Either way I'm happy I got it. Cheers!

    Sounds delicious, but too pricey for my taste. The Feis Ile bottles from most Islay distilleries tend to come at quite a premium.

      I agree. It's too pricey. This was the first time I saw something from Bunna like this so I decided to pick it up just in case someone wanted a chance to win it in the June giveaway.
