Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Bunnahabhain 1979

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Duncan Taylor

ABV: 47.1%

Score: 90 Points

Bunnahabhain’s always been known as less peatier than most Islay malts, and this one has a nose with minimal peat and light wood smoke, toasted oak, and a nice butteriness with a hint of lemon underneath. The taste is buttery with citrusy notes of lemon peel and a good overall balance of ginger, almond, and allspice notes. The finish is lingering with a touch of lemon peel.
