The new Bunnahabhain 12 is a great example of how much a whisky can improve with the removal of the caramel colouring and filtering and then bottling at a bit higher strength. I must say i enjoy the Bunna 12 now were before it is not a bottle i would have picked up much. I have had some decent Bunna independent bottlings in the past which have been bottled naturally. Cant wait to try there 18 and 25 year olds as they plan to bottle them without colouring or filtering when current stocks have depleted. So the future looks good for me as i already like the 18 year old and they are going to improve it
Charlie Bunna have already released the new versions of Bunnahabhain 18 and 25. The Bunna 18 is available over at The Whisky Exchange for £50 but they havent got the new version of the Bunna 25 yet. Jim Murray was certainly impressed with the new Bunna 18 as he marked it at 94 (old version he gave 85.5) in the 2011 Whisky Bible.

Jims comment about the Bunna 18 was:
"Its been a long time since I've enjoyed a distillery botting to this extent."
Personally the Bunnahabhain 18 was my choice of the Bunna range and i havent tried the new version yet so looking forward to getting a bottle myself.
Going slightly back up the thread Laithwaites first cask series was mentioned, well i visited one of their branches the other day and they also stock them in store although they were all priced at £50, so i mentioned the online sale and he said they would just match it so i went for the Miltonduff 1983 24YO and i must say that i am very impressed by it. Shop also had a Glenkinchie bottle open as a sampler.
