Upon tasting, it has a gentle mouthfeel with orange, vanilla, and a good grain presence, along with a texture that subtly lingers on the tongue, finishing with a slightly spicy aftertaste. [Good/Very Good] A new release from Adelphi, BUNNAHABHAIN 1989, aged for 24 years. The nose has a good fruitiness with citrus notes and hints of pear and peach, along with a grain character. Upon tasting, the lower alcohol content gives it a gentle flavor profile, with a good grain presence that lingers on the tongue, giving it a slightly old bottle-like texture. Impressively clean and without the typical bitterness or roughness often found in BUNNAHABHAIN's finish. This is another excellent new release. #BUNNAHABHAIN (BUNNAHABHAIN)
