I had a sample of it which I enjoyed, though not enough to get a whole bottle. I went through my notes and it turns out I had the sample over two consecutive days, compared against other whiskies. Here are the notes I took.
Day 1 note:
Nose: Sherried, markedly different than the 12. A bit oaky. With water there's sherry mixed with mowed grass.
Taste: Sherried with some bitter chocolate.
Finish: Long, herbal, peppery. Gets more honeyed with water.
Overall: Nicely sherried Bunna. Easy to drink, but does not blow my mind.
87/100
Day 2 note:
Nose: Sherry and honey, lightly herbal, very light sea breeze. Oak. Nice balance of the same flavors with water.
Taste: Sweet entrance, developing a spicy flavor. Honey and coating sherry.
Finish: Oaky, bitter, spices linger. Medium length.
Overall: Crisp sherry bomb, on the level of the Glendronach revival.
88/100
