Whisky Advocate
The nose is fresh, with sea salt, tangerines, and light smokiness. Vanilla, sultanas, malt, a hint of sherry, hazelnuts, and woodsmoke are present on the oily palate. Lingering in the finish, with salt and drying smoke. (GS, Fall-2019)
Wine Spectator
A refreshing malt, notable for its transition from a slightly austere nose of olive oil, seaweed and a whiff of peat to a glamorous palate of honey candy and spice. Finishes rather quickly with aromatic spices. Non-chill filtered. Natural color. (JB, OD)

K&L Notes
Bunnahabhain is a mellow, delicate and highly individual malt whisky. It owes much of its character to its water source, the clear Margadale spring, and to the distillery's proximity to the sea on the edge of the Sound of Islay. It is the most northern of all the Islay distilleries. The 12-Year is golden in color. The nose is remarkably fresh, sweet, with hints of sea air. A lighter body malt, but with good weight, it usually runs about 10ppm in regards to its phenol content. The palate is very gentle and clean, with a nutty-malty sweetness. A nice full-flavored finish. (David Othenin-Girard, K&L Spirits Buyer)
