What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair
Quote 1 “Great taste and aroma, it takes a bit of time to savour it but then all the aromas are coming up, let it in your glass to breath a few min and enjoy !”
Quote 2 “The sherry casks really do a number on this whisky. This won’t be to everyone’s taste but I liked it a lot. The merest drop of water opens it up nicely bringing out a puddingy dried fruit flavour. As Islay malts go this is very different, but that’s no bad thing. No age statement – no problem.“
Quote 3 “Very nice Whiskey, full rich flavour but without the smoke which makes a change from the smokey Islay whiskeys which I usually go for.”
