Agreed.

Couldn't agree more!

I'll be reviewing the Bunnhabhain 18 SOON!

Couldn't agree more!

Sometimes a sherry cask can give a little sulphery funk that seems like a peated whisky.

Thanks!

I'lll be reviewing the Bunnahabhain 18 soon and I agree, the price jump isn't justified by the quality of the whisky.

Hope you enjoy it!

It's one of my favorites!

I wold LOVE to get a bottle of the Cask Strength!

I'll be doing the entire core range except for the 25 and 40, they're too epensive.

Erik Wait Whisky Studies But it’s for science! Lol.

I like wearing a sport coat..... unless it is 100°F / 38°C! It has been REALLY hot here the past few days making wearing a coat very challenging. Thankfully I have air conditioning in my house. My current live stream series "Introduction to Blind Tasting" is more academic.

Does your father like peated whisky? If so, go with the Port Charlotte. If not, go with the Bunnahabhain 12. Either way he won't be disappointed.

@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies thanks for the quick answer ! Much appreciated ! Will go for the port Charlotte then ! Just ordered the bunnahabhain for myself, to give a try ! 😅 Good continuation and thanks for all those amazing videos !

jusakaju the Caol Ila 12 has very noticeable peat and Smoke. The Bunnahabhain 12 is so slight you might not notice the peat.

@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies Thanks Erik. I will still get a bottle of bunnah:) You made it sound do good and the color was very nice. Untill your next video, take care.

I still haven't gotten around to Bowmore, but I've had the other three and Laphroaig 10 is my pick as the best of the bunch by far. Ledaig 10 would be my second favorite in this price range (the cost runs between the Ardbeg and the Bunna), but it's not as easy to find.

Igor, Bunnahabhain doesn't fall into the Islay peated profile despite being from Islay. It's a very very lightly peated, sherried, unique animal and shouldn't be compared with those you mentioned in nose palate or finish.

If you put a link to somewhere else KZfaq automatically removes it.

@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies I had no idea? I do that all the time. Thanks.

Yep.

Barrel char notes coming through maybe but no peat.

@@WhiskyMystery With all due respect, it's not "maybe", it's unpeated. As for barrel char, as far as I'm concerned "char" (i.e. carbon) is flavorless and is used in filtration (like in home water filters) to remove flavor, it's a subtractive factor in whisky production. It's a notion bourbon drinkers have come up with to distinguish one bourbon from another (not an easy task apples to apples) and to justify overspending on that spirit (which I very much enjoy). Cheers! 😁

It’s not peated but I do believe the water runs through peat bogs. This is tasted in the product and wonderful.

Chris Molloy char in a barrel is absolutely not flavorless. Char is not activated charcoal and caramelization is one of the most complex flavor profiles period usually represented by the brown sugar caramel flavors. It’s just science.

You are in the minority opinion on this one. Everyone I have ever spoken to LOVES the Bunnahabhain 12.

@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies Yes, I noticed that in the comments. I just felt like the minority opinion should be expressed because I'm truly mystified over the appeal (or over why I can't stand it), especially since we seem to agree on others (Laphroaig, Lagavulin, etc.). I'm glad folks who have bought it are truly enjoying it, though.

James, how many single malts have you had at the point you made this comment?

@@EuropaWill I estimate I had about 50 to 75 different single malts at the time I posted, across a roughly 10-year period of drinking scotch whisky. From 10/15/18-year verticals of Speysiders such as Glenlivet and Glenfiddich as well as some more sherried offerings such as Macallan 12 and 18, smoky drams such as Ardbeg 10, Ledaig 10 and Lagavulin 16, to "outliers" such a half dozen different Springbank whiskies and one or two Lowland drams, I've had an extensive and well-rounded education in single malts (and a few blends as well). To this day, the Bunnahabhain 12 still remains my LEAST favorite, and perhaps the only one I would turn down. Perhaps I had a bottle from a bad batch, but it was truly that unpleasant for me.

@@Jaysthename Thanks for the context. There is no accounting for a person's preference in taste, though you may have had a bad example or you may have eaten something super salty prior to trying it. I've had the experience that if you "burn" your tongue with too much salt earlier in the day from a meal like salty soup or chips, that will alter your sense of taste for quite a while, up to a few days in some cases. I've noticed that when my tongue was in an over salt state, that all single malts tasted ridiculously sweet and almost syrupy. So it is possible this is what happened when you tried it, and you could have had the same experience with almost any other SM. Have you gone back and tried it again after a period of fasting for example? Fasting can really bring your taste buds online. I've broke many an intermittent fast with a tasting of scotch and oftentimes my smell and taste acuity is much improved.
