Bunnahabhain Moine 2009 Feis Ile Edition

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 58.4%

Score: 93 Points

A young malt, just 5 years old with several months in an ex-sherry cask. The nose has a surprisingly gentle peatiness with notes of wood smoke, pears, and vanilla. The taste is dry and sweet on the tip of the tongue with hints of dark chocolate and caramel that fade to reveal soft cinnamon and hints of almond. The finish has soft smoke, vanilla, and a hint of hazelnut.
