Heavily-sherried Bunnas aren't exactly a rarity, and many are good, but this exemplifies just how fantastic they can be. A great sherry complexity, dried fruits of all kinds as you'd imagine (without any sulfur or flaws), mild sweetness, light spice, lengthy finish. The flavors aren't as intense overall as one might wish for, but that adds to the huge drinkability of this excellent malt. 

 

Damn it, another great malt that I missed the boat on!

N: very rich old sherry, wood polish and some molasses.

P:  very rich, rancio, chocolate sherry.  Some red fruit lurks underneath.  Highest quality sherry, quite Macallan-like.

F:  Very long in lie cacao chocolate milk.

Yum.
