It's funny, I haven't cracked open a Bunnahabhain in quite a few months and the other night I rummaging around my stash looking for a bottle and I pulled out a bottle of their standard 12. It was maybe a year old, possibly two, so I can't speak to current batches, but this was the most Sherry-forward bottling of 12 I can remember. Not quite a Sherry Bomb, but damn close too it. Really delicious stuff! ✌️

Striking example of batch variation is Deanston 10 Bordeaux. Travel Retail exclusive, at £35 at airports it used to be by far the best value on British market for the lovers of dry red wine casks, winning with excellent Ledaig Rioja and standing its ground not-so-shyly next to Springbank 12 Burgundy. At least 2021 batch - the 2022 batch (it is not highlighted in a pronounced way, but one can check the serial number printed on the bottle) is a completely different whisky, just a signature of Deanston with touch of Bordeaux, completely different caliber of the cask. I wonder if they reused emptied barrels from '21... And it is not just oxidation, I was in such disbelief about this degeneration that I unsealed a fresh bottle of '21 to compare with a fresh bottle of '22

Great piece of advice to a newcomer like myself - thanks!

Also looking forward to your review of Glen Scotia double cask, I have come across this bottle many times but I am hesitant to buy it because it carries no age statement… for the same reason I would never buy this Bunna with an unpronounceable name behind it… but then again, I have also tried many whiskies WITH an age statement that I didn’t like (eg Talisker 10, Mortlach 12, Singleton 12, Chivas Regal 12, aberlour 12 etc)
