Description

Bunnahabhain started production in 1883 and currently the majority of the spirit it produces is lightly peated, although since 2012 around 20% of the output has been peated at 35ppm.

The dried fruit and honey sound inviting, though the dark chocolate, raisins and figs make this feel more dessert-led than herbal. The warming fruit-and-spice finish gives it a clear direction.

The notes put dried fruit and vanilla up front, then move into darker flavours of chocolate, raisins and figs with a touch of oak. That contrast gives the character some weight without losing the fruit. The unpeated label is useful context, but the tasting notes don’t specify smoke, so I wouldn’t assign a particular smoke level from them. The lingering fruit and spice sounds like a fitting close to this richer style.

The dried fruit, raisins and figs give this a clear fruit-led direction, while dark chocolate and a touch of oak add some weight. The creamy texture and warming fruit-and-spice finish make it sound rounded without losing focus.
