Description

The Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old from the They Inspired II series, distilled in March 2009 and bottled in March 2021 by Michiel Wigman, is an expression boasting a robust 53.3% alcohol by volume. As part of the second series, specifically 2.4, the artwork and design by Hans Dillesse add an extra layer of allure. Bunnahabhain, situated on the peaceful shores of Islay, is renowned for its unpeated style, setting it apart from its peaty neighbors on the island. This 12 Years Old expression is a testament to the distillery's commitment to complexity and balance, becoming a canvas for flavor exploration in the hands of Michiel Wigman.

Nose
A symphony of aromas with rich toffee, dried fruits, a gentle hint of coastal sea breeze, sherried richness, brioche, fig jam, honey, flower nectars, and soft biscuity sweetness. Water can reveal leafy notes, unlit cigars, hessian, and gentler cooking oils.
Palate
A harmonious blend of creamy texture, vanilla, honey, and a touch of oak, complemented by subtle spiciness. It feels assertive, spicy, and jammy up front, with pronounced oak spices, salted nuts, honeys, and umami. Mouth-filling, textural, and rich, water can broaden it with more leafy notes, tobacco, roasted nuts, praline, and a salty sherry quality.
Finish
A lingering finish with persistent sweetness and a gentle warmth. It is long, increasingly saline, nervous, and perfectly balances earthy notes, leather, wood spices, and a little bodega funk.
