Bunnahabhain 25 Small Batch Distilled описывают как хорошо сбалансированный и сложный солод с заметным влиянием шерри, морскими и ореховыми нотами, хотя неоднократно отмечают, что цена не всегда оправдана.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах этот виски чаще всего характеризуют как хорошо сбалансированный, многослойный и комплексный солод. Многократно упоминается шерри-влияние, которое, по описаниям, хорошо интегрируется с морским характером Bunnahabhain, а также ноты сухофруктов, орехов, мёда, шоколада, цитрусовых, специй и старого дерева. Часть отзывов отмечает мягкость, маслянистость и лёгкую питкость, другие — глубину и зрелость, иногда с дымными, табачными или кожаными оттенками. Финиш описывают по-разному: от среднего до длинного, с сухофруктами, шоколадом, специями, цитрусовой цедрой и иногда лёгкой горечью или серными нюансами.
Заметная часть отзывов касается соотношения цены и качества: виски хвалят как качественный и приятный, но нередко считают слишком дорогим для того, что он предлагает, и советуют сначала попробовать образец или в баре. Несколько отзывов сравнивают его с другими релизами Bunnahabhain (12, 18 лет) и с более старыми версиями 25-летнего, отмечая, что нынешний вариант воспринимается иначе — менее шерри-насыщенным или менее впечатляющим, чем ожидалось. Есть и критические отзывы, где говорят о недостатке характера, возраста или шерри-выраженности, а также о слишком тонком или водянистом теле.

A slightly perfumed, multifaceted sherry malt with excellent balance and depth. You can sit with a dram of this whisky all evening, watching it transform in the glass.
Rather light and easy drinkable - compared to an older Bunna XXV with 43% this one is easier, less sherried and more fruity

I remember the "old version" to taste better. But dang, today I just took it out from the shelve, poured a dram and sipped it. It's damn delish... I got it for a relatively cheap buck and its not really worse than its lighter predesc. If you can get a hand on this, do so, I feel that those kind of drams will get less and less with the years.

This is an outstanding whisky and a bit of an underdog compared to other 25-year-olds. What I love is how the sherry influence integrates so well with Bunnahabhain’s maritime character. But here’s the downside: it’s expensive. If you love rich sherried whiskies, you’ll adore it, but if you’re expecting fireworks, it might not fully justify the cost.
Wonderfully balanced and well-aged. The palate could be a bit smoother for its age, but this is high-level crying. It's nice that the bourbon and sherry influences complement each other so harmoniously, making it quite complex. The finish takes it up a notch, bringing lovely sweet dried apricots.

Rationally speaking, there are no shortcomings. It is smooth and not watery, and the flavor is also complex and layered. As a whisky mixed with bourbon and sherry barrels, it blends the characteristics of both very well. But emotionally speaking, it tastes very strange. There is no excitement, no happiness, and even no relaxation. It is not seductive and does not even accept me. At first, I was wondering if this was an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and had many stories that I met at the bar. In the end, I found that the uncle gave me a perfunctory fake smile, and then ignored me, burying his own story in his own field of alcohol and smoke.

| Нос | 89 | Moderate alcohol brings out a thick aroma. It's not like peat but more like tobacco, with plump cherries and raspberries, as well as crisp green apples. Gradually, the flavor becomes sweeter, with honey, chocolate candy and toffee appearing behind the fruit. |
| Вкус | 89 | The alcohol is well suppressed, and there is a distinct spicy oak flavor, which is like popping candy jumping on the tongue. Salted preserved fruits, dried berries, dried flowers, stewed red apples and pears, all dancing on a handful of cigarettes and a burning old wood. Gradually, some seaweed also appeared. |
| Финиш | 88 | Some nuts sprinkled with butter cream, mainly woody notes, no bitterness, a little spicy, some waxy and floral. The intensity is average and the length is long. |
Good to very good. A VERY clean bunna straight from the nose. See breeze, iodide, fruits, nutty, with a hint of peat ? The taste is gorgeous. Age really works well here. its like default 12 bunna but better by any means. Very good and drinkable whisky.. The first taste is something smoked ? Meat ? A hint of bourbon ? Cigar ash ? The taste shall briefly burn you with previously mentioned ash, but afterwards a honeyish-nutty-woody finish shall be with you for a long - long time. 89.5

Nice whisky, even if it's not worth 250 € to me. At € 200 I would start pondering. Now the 10cl of a sample is enough for me. Beach holidays and funfair are in the glass. A caramelized red apple with vanilla sugar. The whole thing is a little salted (salted caramel). Significant wood spice and then purple grapes to fresh, young peaches. Some young leather still. Oily in texture and taste. I do not want to and will not go to water; I am convinced that then he would lose.

Multi-layered malt that is a good deal deeper and more complex than the 18yo.
COLOR: dark gold (without dye) - super whisky from the category "top class" - very complex, versatile and very tasty - in direct comparison Islay competitor CAOL ILA 25 definitely 1 point better and more complex - but for 350 to 400 € also not a cheap one Bargain...

Nicely balanced, well put-together, sheried malt with a decent amount of complexity. But somehow - tasting it blind - it lacked the wow-factor. Must've been better when they used better sherry casks in the past like the 12 and 18 I assume. Imho to pricey for what it offers, except you can't stand too bold a flavor and roundness is your no 1 priority. Different batch in 2022, same result. No real fault except not living up to what a 25 year old whisky, or Bunna for that matter, can be. Prices being what the are, it's a bit disappointing to be honest. Other than that a very sippable pleasant malt with some old style malt notes.
Utterly disappointing. The Bunna 25 of old was a sherry bomb with true class and character. This has absolutely none of that. No age, no sherry character, barely anything really. Shame.

Macadamia, cherry, blackberry, milk chocolate, condensed milk, wet wood. Far more refined compared to the 18-year-old. Smooth nutty notes, especially macadamia, intertwine with sweet cherry and blackberry. Milk chocolate and condensed milk sweetness are expressed in a very mild and elegant manner.

Recently, the price of Macallan 18 sherry casks from Tianchao has dropped, and it has gradually reached the same level as Bunahaben 25. Let’s compare and experience it today. Generally speaking, Buna has enough ingredients to fully meet the needs of heavy taste. Mai is restrained, layered, and somewhat distanced.
#Blindtasting A little too bitter and a little too soapy. Some special aromas in a matured sherry malt

I only have a very small sample and don't know what vintage it is. But it's certainly a recent one, because the subtle sherry aromas in the background are rather modern. I compared this one with an old Bunnahabhain 12 from the 1980s (ID 88255). It's fascinating how similar the aromas are. On the nose, the two aren't that similar, but on the palate, the 25 has the edge, appearing more mature and full-bodied.

| Нос | 90 | 90.5 The nose has the same aromas as the Bunnahabhain 12 from the 1980s (ID 88255). I could practically copy and paste. Salty aromas, nuts, sherry, but with a more modern twist. After 20 minutes of standing, it's noticeably riper and the aromas are more solid. A very, very nice, classic Bunnahabhain. |
| Вкус | 91 | 90.5 On the palate, a ripe, juicy sweetness with a salty note. Classic Bunnahabhain, just a bit older. The flavors are deeper and broader compared to the old 12, but still very similar in aroma. |
| Финиш | 90 | The mouthfeel is sparkling, intense, and full-bodied sweet. It lingers on the palate and lingers on the finish. |
Nice coastal influence i love from this distillery, nuts, brown sugar, red fruits. A well balanced whisky. For that price i would prefer to go fort the 18.
Pretty bottle A little dry finish ...

Bought this as a sample from the distillery during Feis Ile -24. Reminds me a lot from bunna 12, but with steroids. Amazing whisky. However, it doesn't stand out enough to justify the price tag. Buy this as a sample or from a bar before getting the bottle to see if you like it or not. Note: I accidentally forgot this sample to my suitcase in sauna, and it got treated for 3 hours in 100 degree celsius, so that might have affected the taste as well...

| Нос | 89 | Very bold but gentle nose, lots of sherry, oak and vanilla notes |
| Вкус | 86 | Starts with oily and very smooth mouthfeel, very high viscosity, almost like syrup in your mouth, slowly developing into more spicy sherried notes. Quite intense acidity as well. |
| Финиш | 87 | Medium finish. Spicy, bitter and dry, charred oak, vanilla, dried fruits, coconut |
Unfortunately, despite the good notes, its performance does not justify its price. At those prices, I would look for a purer product with a higher abv. For this, I find a price in the 240 Euro range, if not 200-230. But the whisky is flawless and very enjoyable, quite complex and layered. Very gourmand; milk chocolate and caramel layers are arranged one after the other like a billionaire's pie and crowned with a red fruit sauce. Good! Price performance: Medium-Low Would I buy it again?: At a lower price or higher ABV; yes.

| Нос | 87 | Red and green plums, red fruit, raisins. A lively nose. Marzipan. Grape pulp, very obvious salted caramel. Milk chocolate. Saltiness, a gourmand nose. Musky and leathery. A homogeneous nose; notes on top of each other. Very perfumed. A sweet strawberry jam. Sour cherry. Oxidized red apple. Beautiful red fruits indeed. Complex. Tobacco. Very good. |
| Вкус | 88 | On the palate, a little above medium sweetness. Intense oak effect, intense cigar, chewing tobacco. Salted Caramel is still here, cocoa and dark chocolate. Maybe even milk chocolate could be added. Vanilla almond caramel cookies. Grape pulp, must. A very enjoyable, round palate. Gourmand again. The grape effect is really clear. Characterful red grapes. Caramel nuances add an extraordinary harmony. Super. |
| Финиш | 86 | The finish is surprisingly not as long as 18, the spiciness opens up the most here. Light black pepper and cinnamon, maybe cardamom and nutmeg are added. Dark and sweet grapes continue. Vanillas, milk chocolates. Toffee. Powdered strawberry and a full tobacco flavor. Light thyme and grapefruit peel. A finish of medium length and intensity. Pleasant. |
