90
In honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee (1952-2012) The Whisky Barrel presents a limited edition Islay Malt matured in a single fresh sherry butt cask #35. Distilled 24th December 1990 and bottled 10th February 2012. Just 90 bottles at full strength have been released featuring a rather splendid Crown Jewel.
This single malt whisky is a really awesome sherry monster from Bunnahabhain distillery.
This dram has a mahogany-like color.
Nose (89): more than average. peat, honey, floral, citrus, nuts, wood, cocoa.
Palate (89): smooth, powerful, oily. nuts, sulphur, honey, wood, peat, citrus, tobacco, pepper, salt. This whisky is a sherry bomb!
Finish (91): long. nuts, floral, honey, oloroso.
So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Bunnahabhain Jubilee Malt 21 years old 1990 with 90 points over 100.
