Bunnahabhain 14 Year Old PX Sherry Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

I have to be honest, it's been a little while since I've been truly excited by a distillery release of Bunnahabhain. Yes the distillery consistently offers awesome whisky thru their standard line up, but nothing we've gotten in the recent memory has truly moved the needle like this special little whisky. I also have to note that I was a bit skeptical of lovely delicate Bunnah in big sweet PX, but oh god was I wrong. This has such an incredible balance, I struggle to think of another PX finished Scotch that was so well integrated. The nose wafts from the glass immediately I think salt water taffy. Then into crunchy toffee, butterscotch, pecan butter, salted dried plums and even a some chocolatey malt! The palate is absolutely bonkers. Straight up chocolate covered raisins. The texture is perfect, full, mouth coating, but not cloying. That salty Bunnah malt peaking out through the rich fruit, coco and honey crisps. The finish is long and lifted with that one crucial element reigning over all others, BALANCE! They must be using some pretty high quality sherry here. An absolute dream to drink. No wonder this stuff is sold out nearly everywhere else in the world.
