Expert's Description

Bunnahabhain Miniature 12 Years Old is a Single Islay Malt Whisky in 5cl, bottled at 46.3%.

The contents are identical to the distillery's well-known 12 Years Old core bottle, just in pocket size. That makes the miniature ideal as an introduction to Bunnahabhain's light, unpeated style, or as a small addition to a tasting alongside several Islay whiskies.

Nose

A remarkably fresh, aromatic hit of sea air with a faint hint of smoke.

Palate

Light and clean with fruit, olives and nuts, moving into heavier, malty-sweet tones.

Strikingly malty, fresh and a touch dry.
