Bunnahabhain Toiteach Scotch Single Malt Whisky is a distinctive and peaty expression from the Islay distillery, showcasing a departure from the typically less peated style for which Bunnahabhain is known. The name "Toiteach" translates to "smoky" in Scots Gaelic, giving a nod to the pronounced peat influence that characterizes this particular release.
With a rich amber hue, Bunnahabhain Toiteach captivates the senses with a robust and aromatic smokiness on the nose. The palate unfolds with a complex interplay of peat smoke, maritime influences, and a touch of brine, creating a bold and dynamic flavor profile. Beneath the layers of smoke, one may discover hints of malt sweetness, dried fruits, and subtle spices, adding depth and balance to the overall experience.
Toiteach represents a departure from Bunnahabhain's typically lighter peating levels, making it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate a more assertive and smoky Islay single malt. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, Bunnahabhain Toiteach showcases the distillery's versatility in crafting whiskies that cater to a range of flavor preferences within the realm of Islay Scotch.
