Tasting Notes: This is what the Bunnahabhain Staoisha 2013 100 Proof Edition #7 Signatory Vintage tastes like

• Nose: clear smoke -Aromas like smoked meat over the campfire and a pleasant honey sweetness - in the background aromas of citrus fruits.
• Palate: very powerful on the tongue, but round and not pungent - to the citrus notes Limes and oranges add further fruit notes that are reminiscent of pears and ripe apples, above all the spicy smoke and a hint of dark pepper
• Finish: medium-long and intense, the peat smoke remains last
