- Today we are trying a whisky from an old favourite of a distillery, Bunnahabhain, but not the usual unpeated malt, this time the peated Toiteach A Dha which translated as "Smokey Two"

Got one of these a few years ago not long after it was released. My favorite peated Bunna is a homemade one I have done several times. You can very the ratio depending on how much peat you want 70%-80% Bunna 12 and 20%-30% Ardbeg Ugidail. Put away in a full sample bottle for at least two weeks so it can marry then if they are from new bottles pour into a larger bottle with some air space for a week to open up. For me the Ardbeg kind of takes over even though there is less of it in there but it's a fab peated Islay sherry dram you can make for something unique. Cheers Ladies.
Nice try 👌 have you ever tried unsherried peated mix? 😁🥃🙋🏻♂️
Nailed it. Again! Love this Bunna. Like you said: so well integrated. Nothing to add! Slainte.
Glad you agree!
Another great review.
Love the extra tidbits about bunna, Gaelic words, etc.
Super excited to hear bunna might be back into black bottle. Dropped in quality since they left.
I too, love Bunna’.
Lady in Black spells trouble and triple the fun!
🤣🤣🤣
Yes not sure this is what Distell want anymore, they know Buna is a precious asset.
You’ll find a number of IB bottlings which are from an unnamed Islay distillery are Staoisha. It’s what they sell to other companies for blending purposes. Brendon McCarron has hinted he feels too much goes to other companies in this fashion.
Interesting. Noticed in 2019 there were several indies selling 5yr Staoisha from de char re char hogsheads and in 2020 different bottlers were selling 6yr ones. Guess in 2014 they filled quite a few of those casks for sale? Cheers Ben
Yup like the Bunna, been meaning to pick this one up for ages and finally have one coming this week! Cheers!
Great! Hope you enjoy! Slainte! 🥃👍
@@TheGrailTastings Delivery arrived while doing a live stream so popped it immediately and yup it some good stuff! Slainte! 🥃
Currently going through a bottle of Bunnahabhain 12 and loving every sip & sniff of it. As a major Peathead I would love to get a bottle of Toiteach, unfortunately none of the shops around carry it. Nice review & cheers!
Hope you manage to get hold of it sometime!
Hey girls, Love your pronounciation. So scottish! Thanks for that review! 😉
Thank you! 😃 The best compliment!
Though I love Bunnahabhain, I really love to tell others about it just so I have an excuse to say "Bunnahabhain" to them.
I love this one and had an amazing IB of Staoisha (Laphroaig levels of peat) and its a shame they don't want to bother with their peated whisky, because its so good! A cask strength toiteach, a first fill sherry version, wine finishes.... Its a huge missed opportunity (I definitely prefer it to unpeated bunnahabhain
Which one Saoisha was it? There are few on the market. 😁🥃🙋🏻♂️
It was called "the collaboration" phenomenal bottle
❤ bunna 🥃
Absolutely love the Bunna 12 😀
Might have to try and find a bottle of this.
Is there a big price difference between this and the 12 in the UK.
Not price-wise, they are about on par.
Nice review guys - I had a dram of this in the Pot Still as a nightcap tonight - it was rich and pleasantly smokey - very impressed - I must seek out a bottle - do you stock it?
Yes, we usually have it on our shelves!
Can you guys review glen ness 12 year. I think most people dont think much of it because it is on the bottom shelf at total wine in usa, I really like it , it has carmel and spice notes for me and is smooth with a long nice finish. Thanks bye
Oh wow that's one we have never heard of. A quick search online shows its not available to us here unfortunately and I can even find what distillery it comes from. Do you have any guesses? We will be sure to look out for it next time we are in the states!
@@TheGrailTastings HI its neat to hear from you guys, love the youtube videos. It just says its a highland single malt and Alistar forfar ltd. Glasgow g51 4bp on the bottle. well best wishes Mike
I think staoisha is the trade name for the peated whisky they sell to indie bottlers. Nice review of a nice whisky 🥃 one for folk to consider that are gutted by the new price of Lagavulin 16
Yes, as we say in the video, both Staoisha and Moine are alternative names used, both for the peated spirit they make there. They use this instead of Bunnahabhain on the label of some indy bottlings but Bunna themselves also use the Moine name on some bottlings. Moine means "Peat" and Stoisha is a loch near to the distillery. The Lagavulin 16 is a nice dram but one we find that people seem to get a bit stuck on!
Stoisha is HEAVILY peated...I have a couple of bottles
Its good stuff! Enjoy!
I tried an Irish Smokey whiskey once ,just once.That is definitely not for me.
There are so many different types! Don't let one put you off the rest!
Connemara, Hinch or other? What about Scotch Smokey? 🙋🏻♂️
I felt that Toiteach A Dha tastes too young. Definitely younger than the 12 year. I wish they aged it longer. Also not getting the sherry that I get on the 12. I do love peated malts, just not this one. I could see blending the 12 year with a different peated whisky that someone else commented. I'd probably like that better. Also the 12 year is $20 cheaper in my area than the Toiteach A Dha.
Ah See wee quite like the peaty ones younger for more of the peat kick!
Apologies in advance: I certainly don't want to sound like the pronunciation police, but pronunciations do interest me--intrinsically, i.e. not simply for wishing to not get things "wrong"--and I believe Bunna's website says pronunciation is: "Toch-ach ah-ghaa". You both seem to be putting an "i" before the "ch", not quite but sort of like "toy-chek", and you're also pronouncing the "D" in Dha rather than "ghaa"? I usually say "Boona-ha-van" rather than the harder "Bun" sound, but I see from your pronunciations vid that both are broadly accepted even if Bun might be more common/typical in Scotland.
