For a comparison of two Wilson & Morgan Bunnahabhain 2014 editions, a 5 year old and this 6 year old. We tasted these at an online tasting at Vaults of Spirit, where I was invited as a guest speaker.
480 participants were sitting at home enjoying some good whisky and hopefully the talk Daniel The Whisky Viking, Benedikte and I had about the whiskies.
It is much like it’s one year younger sister or brother bottle. They have both matured in 500 liter Butts and I believe it is ex-bourbon in both cases. This one have some more softness in the smoke on the nose and it is like I can taste hints og dried fruits, notes I didn’t get in the younger.
It is two well made youngsters with a smoke kick and a fine tuned taste of Islay.
