Рет қаралды 2,516
Күн бұрынIn this video I will review Bunnahabhain 12 and let you know if I will sip on it until the bottle is gone and buy it again or if I will skip buying it once the bottle is gone and replace it with something else.

Just picked this bottle up today. Just starting to explore into Scotches and I’m happy with this purchase. In CT. I paid $70.00. Definitely a crushable bottle.

Peter, good tasting notes. I get just a whiff of smoke on the Bunna 12 for some reason. Love it and sharing with BourbonFriends, they have all loved. On my 3rd bottle. And even better is their 12 Year CS. Cheers!

Bunnahabhain 12 always gives me of a tootsie roll note on the palate. I don’t go to it much if I have Edradour 12 but it’s definitely a sip and a wonderful and affordable bottle to show up at a friends house with or as a gift.

Bunnahabain 12 is a staple on my bar. Just a terrific pour. If you get a chance get the 2022 Bunnahabain 22 year cask strength as it was one of the best releases last year. The 2021 Bunna CS was okay but the 2022 was phenomenal

I watched the whole video, even though the outcome was no surprise. Bunna 12 is a great bottle, wish it was easier to get here in AL, I haven't seen a bottle in 5 or so months. It goes for $83 here so I usually pick it up in GA or FL. - Cheers!

The only reason I don't have a bottle of bunna 12 is that the bunna 12 CS is just better in every way, and I have limited shelf space. That said, when I go to english bars I'm always looking for a pour of Bunna 12.
