Bunnahabhain 2002 – North Star – 51,2%

A matured Bunnahabhain that embodies exactly what makes this distillery so special: depth, creaminess and a wonderfully playful sweetness.
After 23 years in a refill hogshead, it displays an impressive balance of ripe fruit flavours, mellow spices and that characteristic, almost nostalgic Bunnahabhain smoothness.

Nose:
A blend of caramelised citrus and a charming, slightly sculptural note – like Play-Doh, but in that lovely, warm, childhood-familiar way. A scent that immediately piques your curiosity.

Palate:
Here, it becomes cosy and rich: pumpkin pie spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, clove – meet thick vanilla cream. Full-bodied, smooth and with a wonderfully rounded texture.

Finish:
The creaminess lingers: marzipan, hazelnut and a sweet, nutty finish that echoes for a long time. Simply delicious.
