[@zbstepps765]

Hello, I served you at Avis earlier on. It was great speaking to you and learning about yourself as well as enlightening me to this channel. Very good review and comparison. I hope you enjoy your stay here in Scotland and best of luck in your exams.

Great review as always. Hello from Sweden by the way.

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

Hey, thanks!

I'm always apprehensive about doing a head to head with Uigedail or Corryvreckan as they're so good I don't think there are many which can topple them. Having said that that Bunna is good, like many other Bunnas 😃 Cheers Erik🥃

Great review. This is direct from their website: "Meaning 'Smoky Two' in Scots Gaelic, Toiteach A Dhà (pronounced Toch-ach ah-ghaa) is a sequel to the original peaty paradox on Bunnahabhain’s gentle single malt. To create this Mòine variant, our blending team selected a combination of ex Bourbon and Sherry casks which were then matured in full, in our coastal warehouses on Bunnahabhain Bay. With touches of smoke from our peated malted barley, this whisky’s prickling strength emanates from the dram, while warming with a lingering, robust length and delicately sweet sherry influence."

Okay, but how to you pronounce "Toch-ach ah-ghaa"? I guarantee you, a Scotsman pronouncing that will sound different than how an American pronounces it and no matter how much I try there will always be a troll who will complain that I am not pronouncing it correctly. There are some people who have nothing better to do than pretend they are the Pronunciation Police.

I believe it’s pronounced “Bunny-haven Tooty-fruity” 😁👍🏻

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

You're probably right.

I hope this means peat blindness has gone.

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

Well.... I am taking Flonaise is kind of helps if not taken 4 with 4 hours of tasting. The "nose blindness" isn't 100%, but low peated whiskies such as Oban almost seem unpeated on the nose.

@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies I’ve never been able to pick out Oban’s peat. To be honest that is the one whisky I don’t get a lot from. You’ll be fine. Looking forward to meeting you in person next week. Safe travels.
