Bunnahabhain 10 Year 2007 Moine (Blind)

 

Review #1142; Scotch #216

I had this blind then was revealed the notes so keep that in mind.

Here we have a bottling of Bunnahabhain, done for Feis Ile in 2018. This single malt aged for 10 years in ex-oloroso casks before being bottled at cask strength with no additives in 2018.

This is a dirty Sherry bomb in all the best ways. Great flavor, not very nuanced but it smacks you in the face with its flavors
