Two radically different profiles clash a bit in this bottle— sweet creamy tropical fruits and bitter medicinal herbs.  Occasionally these two faces combined to give the impression of Ricola or another honey herbal cough drop.  The cask seems to be pulling the dram in both directions at once— emphasizing bitter burnt herbs as well as creamy vanilla.

There is a lot to love and I am sure fans of Bunnahabhain would enjoy this take on some of herbal sweet notes I typically get from their expressions.  I guess I still have not quite found the Bunna to punch my ticket aboard the hype train, though this was the best I have had so far.
