Maybe the best scotch I've ever tried on first sip. Easy drinking.
It was almost as smooth as drinking tea (I mean that as a compliment for how easy it went down) yet it had some wonderful notes. A complete and pleasant surprise in relation to other Islay scotches I've sampled.
A bourbon drinker that loves this stuff because ... ummm... it tastes rather like bourbon.
Having my first dram. Excellent. Lingers.
I can't see this staying at this price point for much longer; 12 year old, non chill filtered and natural colour at circa 40 quid. There are plenty of other companies producing NAS junk for more money. A hidden gem.
I have never been a fan of islay but this one is Outstanding!
All the richness of the best sherried whisky, but with subtle nuances that make it unique. Traces of smoke (but more the sweet Highland Park variety than the typical Islay). The coastal salty tang is also very slight, balanced, and much more refined than that of say, Ol Pulteney 12.
This is the cream that rises to the top. The cherry and vanilla are very evident. The very subtle, sweet smoke builds up slightly on the palate as you enjoy glass after glass of this criminally underrated 12 year old malt. Outstanding.
I am in a "discovering" phase ans I like to try different stuff and therfore bought this one.
VERY SHERRY, oh my god... I was really surprised, I thought it would be more balance and subtile, but the first minute, all I could smell and tast was sherry. Very different, actually totally different from my other islay, i need to get use to it ! Knowing this, it is good, no doubt.
I just purchased a small "sample" bottle at my local retailer and I have to say, I LOVED IT!! I like my Whisky cold and then on ice. Probably not the way you're supposed to drink this caliber of whisky...but that's how I like it.
I'm definitely an amateur at different Whiskys/Whiskeys...having only tried maybe a dozen or more makers...but I've always wanted to try some true Scotch Whisky. I was very happy with the matching of the various flavors, and quite frankly the Sherry flavor didn't really stand out like I thought it might. Not a big fan of Sherry....sorry. But the overall taste and smell was quite pleasing. Very glad I picked this one up! I may have ask for a full size bottle for Christmas!
This whisky epitomises why Islay is the finest whisky region on the planet. Compared to most Islay's it's relatively smoke free, but there is enough of a hint there to keep you interested along with a some nice spicy tones, but very little burn. Just lovely. Makes you just want to come back for more.
This didn't blow me away. From reading the reviews I was hoping to find a lightly peated complex sherrybomb, I was eluded. This whisky has quite a light body and the sherry maturation remembered me of Glenfarclas 16, which to me is a far cry from a true sherrybomb like Glendonach or Glen Garioch 15. The subtle peat shining through after the initial sherry sweetness does add some complexity though and I found the finish to be way more satisfying and longer than GF 16.
Although not too complex overall it's a nice and interesting whisky, just don't expect a sherrybomb, you'll be left dissapointed.
NO PEAT! But a great SHERRY MONSTER this!
I picked this up on Ralfy's recommendation as "the lighter side of Islay". Not that I was afraid of peat, I love peat. I really just want to taste every Islay expression.
Anyway, I know some people detect peat in this but not me. I can feel peat even in cheap blends (where it is just barely present to make them taste like an ashtray), in lighter malts (Glenkinchie 12, lovely!). I can't feel ANY peat in this Bunny. No big deal, I also love unpeated malts, especially sherried! This malt is substantial, full bodied and delicious. Practice adding water - you don't want too much but it does benefit from some. And give it plenty of time to breathe and open up. It tastes much older than 12 years.
It may not be "exactly" like Aberlour or sherried Macallan but it's easily on par and in similar part of the swatch.
Great in this price range.
Lovely. Especially at this price level. On offer at waitrose for £30 so somewhat overpriced here. Quite woody, bit of sherrry, not a lot of peat (as you'd expect for the other Islay ones).
Great value, the first half of the bottle was truly fantastic. Unfortunately it seems quality drops extra fast with Bunna 12 as the second half (I finnished the bottle in six mounts time) was pretty ordinary .
I keep coming back to this whisky after trying many many others. It is absolutely fabulous and fantastic value for money. Rich toffee, chocolate, honey, a little spice, some pepper but no unpleasant burn. This is the one that wil always be in my collection.
This is such am wonderful coastal malt with a robust complex flavour and great long finish.
But why are MOM charging so much for this? It is only £32 at my local supermarket.
Not for the peat heads, and maybe not for beginners, but for me; one of the best 12 years old I have ever had. A bit of everything, complex and well rounded.
First impression is a smooth sherried sweetness, quite complex as fruit appears, and despite not as peaty as its southern Islay cousins you can still close your eyes and taste the rocky salty shoreline.
I should add to previous review, I've been spending the evening doing some tasting comparisons across several islay expressions, and I've finally got to compare this to Oogie. Whilst it's not as big, there are lots of similarities maybe. The Bunnahabain is more gently peated of course and the initial hit on the palate is gentler, but the sweet sherry hit is also adding to the serenity. I'd almost go ad far to say that the bunnahabain is a softer mire gentle version of Oogie. All I know is that the more I drink it, the more I like it!
Impulse purchase, so glad I did.
Spotted this lounging next to the A'bunadh that I'd set out to buy, quick look at MoM reviews and figured worth a try for £30. Holy mackerel it's good! It's nothing like my go to Islay collection of Ardbegs and Laphroaigs, but it's so well balanced and such complexity! The 46% abv helps to avoid overpowering the palate, so those fruit flavours shine through with a mild peat background going on. I really enjoyed some Bowmore 15 samples recently, and nearly bought some, but I much prefer this. At this price it's fantastic value, forget buying a supermarket superstar, for the extra tenner this blows their socks off.
Creamy vanilla fudge, soft camomile, some floral notes, green fruits, apple, subtle pear, very faint smoke.
toasted walnuts, some vanilla sweetness, earl grey tea note?, some sour grape (red), rounded yet spicy sherry - Finish - brine with some unground black pepper.
Rich smooth complex peaty Islay malt.
For me the best 12yr aged malt on the market . The best £40 you can spend if that's your budget.
What a surprise! The deep, dark sherry notes reminded me of the Glendronach 18. The 18!!! So flavor, much value! It's been a while since I've been wow'ed by a dram, but this one did the trick. A must buy.
One of the best I have ever tasted.
Fantastic complex whisky that compares with the very best. Distilled Christmas Pudding and Panatone in a glass. Excellent and very easy to drink.
Not your usual Islay style but an excellently rewarding and balanced malt that I enjoy every time I taste it.
Now I like smoky peaty whiskies as much as the next guy (as long as that guy likes smoky peaty whiskies), but Bunnahabhain 12 is a different beast. It's not peated and it's not smoky. But boy, is it complex and interesting. It seems a little expensive, but it's not. Dollar for dollar (or euro or yen), it's a bargain. You can't guzzle it on a Friday night (That's what Wild Turkey and Johnnie Walker are for), but you can pour a nice dram once or twice a week to soften the edges of a rough day. Non chill-filtered and uncolored. Buy it. Drink it. Enough said.
note. Salty sweet in the back , carmel candy in the front with a spice and brine lingering throughout. Delicious.
I've tried almost every Scotch. This has the best flavor at the best price point.
Find the finishing generally short especially comparing to other Islay malt. However the sherried nose, coupled with sweet and succulent honey coating on palate leaves a tasty, salty, licorice aftertaste. A new favourite as an after-dinner dram. Recommend to pour it over the Chinese dessert herbal jelly!
Really enjoyed my bottle. Lovely sherry, figgy notes - very figgy actually! Gingerish, a little salty and the peat levels were more than expected but definitely not a peat bomb like you may expect from Islay.
Licorice, fennel and some dry, salty spices on the finish.
It was a tad 'nippy' when first opened but settled beautifully after a month or so.
Smooth, balanced, subtle, with wonderful undertones from sherry casks. In fact it's so smooth I almost wish it was a tad more peaty. My initiation to Bunnahabhain came via the Whisky shop at Tomintoul, where I was seduced with a single cask bottling from 2003. For me, the only competition comes from Tobermory's Ledaig, although I treasure my store of peated Glendronach!
For now, Bunnahabhain reigns supreme.
This is a wonderful whisky, rich sherry, oak, salty notes, and light hints of cherry. I also find that there is a very unique smell to this malt; salty sweet, rocky like granite almost. It's a great malt for the price.
Legs are fast. Lack of viscosity suggest a Oloroso rather than PX cask.
Nose - very sweet, dried fruits and some tropical fruits from the longer fermentation with Lactobacilli beginning to dominate the ethyl acetates, acetate esters and ethyl esters, suggesting a wooden washback. Light smokiness from gentle Peating. Slight rubber from feints.
Slightly sulphur possibly from candle in cask.
Finish - medium, sweet, mixed fruit, Sherried at end.
The taste I found was balanced. Gives the slight undertone, which will have you reaching for more.
I've tried plenty of single malt scotch whiskies, many substantially more pricey than this. I'm struggling to think of any that I'd enjoyed more or were better value. If you need a huge peat hit, then this ain't for you. However if you want a great tasting, sophisticated spirit, look no further. For me this is a treasure of Islay. It's beautifully balanced with just a subtle trace of smoke, a magnificent sweet backbone & a lingering finish. I rate the Islay scotches as king & this is a worthy prince of the realm!
Rather liked this, and have gotten several bottles. A good reception from friends, to it.
A wee bit of heaven on earth.
East or South European fruit or grain double distilled moonshine would taste adequately better considering ridiculously huge difference in price.
I hate peat, and I hate it in whisky, but this one has just the right amount to love it and enjoy with friends. Highly recommended for somebody who loves Glengoyne and Speyside whiskies (Just like I do.).
I'm with you Mr Frank (2 reviews below). If they have to put the price up, to maintain a proper age-statement entry level malt of this standard, then so be it.
If you're exploring peated whiskies, it's a stone cold must.
Tried it for the first time 20 years ago and although the price keeps going up from year to year this one does it for me.
Normally, I would always drink a sherried malt, as being an Aussie, I think we have a sweeter tooth than those from the "Old World". Firstly, it was Pigs Nose (YUK!) - then it was Lagavulin 16,which is commendable, and then Bunnahabhain 12.........!
Surprisingly delightful and provocative! I give it 4 out of 5 stars. As for the Nose, off in the distance I get hints of Maple syrup (Pancakes). If you bury your nose into the dram your olfactory glands are assaulted with the scent isopropyl alcohol....opening up your nostrils.
Palate: It has a certain boldness and complexity to it. At first sip, it's excitingly warm like a kiss from a new love, but the memory of it is lost soon after, leaving you wanting for more. Now as a novice connoisseur (oxymoronic, like "Jumbo Shrimp"), maybe I'm not the best one to evaluate the dram...because my taste buds are not that distinguishing....e.g., I can appreciate a good hotdog as well as an average hamburger. As a matter of fact, I was eating a slice of pizza along with a side glass of Moscato while sipping on my Bunnahabhain aperitif....at home as if I was at some resort taking in the astonishing simplicities of life. "Well at the end of the day isn't that truly what it's all about friend?"
Finish - It does have a lingering effect on the throat....sherry like and pleasantly warm but not overwhelming so.
History about me: I'm a Novice, went to a Scotch tasting for the first time last summer (2015) in Wash. D.C.; the varieties offered were Aberlour, Oban, Balvenie and Yamazki 12 yr. Single Malt (SM). The pours were in plastic containers (cups)...the overhead ceiling fans were on blowing down onto the crowd and the drinks, which in my opinion oxidized the scotches just setting out at the different tasting stations...but hands down for me was the Yamazki 12 yr. SM.
My Recent M of M Purchases - Nikka W. from the Barrell (Japanese), Paul John (Peated Select Cask-Indian), Yamazaki Reserve (Japanese), and Nikka All Malt (Japanese). Since then, I've acquired a couple of bottles of Bunnahabhain 12 here in the US for $49.00 each) and a bottle of "The Dalmore Aged 12 yr. (Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey) for about $25.00.
Nikka fr. the Barrell was number one for me. However, my number two, was Paul John. It's simply to die for (but don't do it, live on and enjoy the Whiskey). The "nose" by far for me as a Novice, stands alone. When you first whiff the aroma, your olfactory glands and brain reverberate saying "Whoah, what is that"...oak, chemical, what? The aroma captivates and assaults your nose like a Muhammed Ali right hook coming at you from out of nowhere, prompting you to say, "Where'd the hell did that come from". But I do agree with the Chaps at M of M (MoM)...the nose is very earthy, not sure about the salt though. As for the palate, MoM is "spot on" BBQ Smoke" all the way. Relative to the Finish, there is something about the flavor, quite can't put my finger on it, that lingers on your tongue long after you've finished the dram, shot, snifter or whatever your choice of drinking glass is. Just do me a favor, "no plastic cups" please. Use an acceptable drinking glass. By the way, the Paul John Peated Select Cask is escalating in price real fast. So if you like peated whiskeys, I'd advise you to jump on this one asap before the price skyrockets. Bon appetite!
What a great whisky. Bought This in Germany because it was 10 euro's cheaper than in Holland. As a fan of Islay whisky I had great aspectations for This one. I knew before I bought This one that it is unpeated Islay whisky and that it might be a disappointment. But it wasn't at all! It is superbe stuff for me. I still love peated whisky, but when I am in the mood for a softer, more delicate, well balanced whisky, this is my dram! The different tastes come in so gentle, even when I swallow there is nothing hostile about this whisky. Not that I can't enjoy a brute force heavely peated troat burning Islay whisky anymore, but now I have a choice between two very different styles, without ' getting of ' Islay. Thanks for that Bunnahabhain!
For my dime, this is a wonderful dram. Very nice lingering flavors of sherry, smoke, peat and salt. No color added, no chill-filtration. Yes.
This is different than other Islays I've had so far. Not to strongly peated, which can be good at times. & you'd never guess it had a higher alcohol content than 40% because it was so light with a dry finish & no burn at all. The main thing that stood out to me though was the sweet fruity nose & taste. Wasn't sure I liked it at 1st, but by the 3rd sip I knew I had to have a second dram. (just to test it of course) I can see that this wouldn't be for everyone, but I'll keep a bottle around for when I want something different.
This was my go to for many years but this batch for 2016 is not up to par. Something is off. Doesn't have the depth it used to. Still has the nose but the palate creaminess is gone and the finish is short. Tired casks?
Not my taste at all..
Bought this one and also the móine version, both taste terrible and pored half the glas down the drain. I couldn't even finish it! Verry weird taste and its not for me. Many people like it but not me :) i stay with Highland park, ardbeg and laga in the future..
At first this tastes and drinks like a gently sherry'd Speysider. There's a hint of peat in the finish, some salinity right at the start of the development followed mostly by the gentle, but noticeable, sherry influence. As you let it linger, other interesting notes hinting more to its Islay origins start to surface; iodine, subtle medicinal tang just at the edges. For a 12 year old, it's remarkably developed, with a great underlying malt matured in some excellent wood.
TL;DR: Buy this, it really is excellent.
Palate - light bready sweetness with figs and nuts. A touch of salinity.. touch of toasted grain again on last chew.
Finish - oaky, slight sherry and figs.
My go to all around dram. It fits every almost every occasion.
This was recently recommend to me by retailer in the US. Selling for $55. A great bargain compared to other single malts and a very unique flavor. I love it!
Very nice. Will not dissapoint you.
Smooth, complex and very tasty!
Just got this as a holiday present and it is everything they say it is!
This is definitely not your typical peat-fest isla whiskey (which I enjoy, but I do get a bit overwhelmed by sometimes). The review below with tasting notes is bang on, I especially like the interesting metallic note on the nose which I feel becomes slightly more pronounced when adding water. Fabulous stuff.
I started drinking whisky 10 years now, never like it before because I had never taste single barel whiskies . Now bunnahabain is my favorite. Sweet and earthy , smooth and long finish. I think is the best whiskey l ever taste before , but I am not an expert . Difficult to find in my country . My second choice is aberlour. I like lagavulin and Caolila but just one or two zips . I also like Blanton's.
I decided to try Bunna 12 again after a long hiatus. I first game gave this dram a bad review, but I gave it another shot I have grown to appreciate it. It has a very distinct oily sherry tone that makes this one of the smoothest 12 years you will have. If you like bourbon and sherry...then this is your scotch.
This bottle is good bottle. Tasting good.
Not a long finish. I wouldn't have guessed that peat is in there.. a higher ppm would have scewed this in the right diretion, in my opinion (and personal preference ofc).
That being said, it is a nice expression from Bunnahabhain worth trying, but nothing special.
I find this to be one of best 12yr on the market right now. I'm having a glass as I write this. The nose is powerful. A lot of alcohol up front followed by a mild sweetness, diluted honey. Palate: It glides across the mouth like high thread count cotton sheets. Salty, smoky, a bit of dried fruit. Finish: long, spice, A deep complexity that seems to be constant flux. Rich and earthy.
Very similar to Jura 16, which I also like. Sherry sweet to a degree I enjoy. I'll buy another Bunnahabhain if I can find it.
My bar is temperature controlled, and UV protected. I used a stemmed (and stemless) glencairn, along with a port glass for this review-- after three 750ml bottles were eventually finished. I am mindful of humidity levels, upright storage (proper for whiskey), oxidization/rate of consumption, in-glass breathing, temperature, and clean tasting environments. I use a handwarming technique, I employ various palatting techniques and nosing positions. I never use scented or bar soap to wash my hands. I hand-wash my glasses to avoid dishwasher residue, double rinse with the whiskey itself that I'm going to pour-- unless water is desired (really good water, not all bottled water is acceptable to me). I am careful to remove the collar foil, and avoid finger contact with the cork when opening and closing. I'm mindful of what I eat and when I ate it before and after enjoying a whiskey, and I experiment with food pairings.
Nose: P.X. sherry imparts (butterscotch, toffee, meaty, nutty), coastal air, hazelnuts, broken-in leather, seaweed, toasted cereals, heather, Bunnahabhain's signature "metalic", aroma-- which on closer examination, breaks down into a combination of heather, florals and fruits. UNDERTONES OF: cornedbeef-stewed cabbage, figs, dates, Bartlett pears, cedar, oak, raw walnuts, hibiscus plant, chamomile tea, iodine, campfire smoke, molasses, cardamom, and an earthiness I can only describe as powdered cinnamon that's lost its potency from being in the spice cupboard for years.
Nose with water: doesn't transform in any unusual way, like some whiskies can. Nothing is hidden really, but the fresh fruits come out a bit clearer...butterscotch is more dominant.
Mouth-feel: overall, is somewhat drying, resinous.
Palate (entry): iodized table salt, sweet maritime freshness, fresh fruits, cereals, heather...vibrant, juicy sweet, and Salty!
Palate (middle): Hazelnuts-- big time! Heather becomes stronger, salt is still there but fades shortly into the middle. Dark spices, dried fruits, toasted malt, citrus (orange, tangerine) are the major notes here.
Palate (finish): loooong, salt returns and lingers with butterscotch and hazelnuts...heather continues on, and I get a whisp of campfire smoke, and a touch of iodine...oak is strong, but not too strong...just right.
Palate (aftertaste-- after the fireworks finish): salted roasted hazelnuts...resinous, sticky mouth-feel. Sherry imparts linger a long time and make themselves at home.
For a 12 year old (and I'm not saying whiskies that aren't 21-29 years old are inferior by default...I simply mean compared to others in the 12 year age class)-- this simply doesn't get any better, only different. I'm an experienced and well read whiskey enthusiast, and know that 1st hand experience is far more valuable than reading tasting notes (so go buy one!). I use 3 palatting techniques (critical to experiment with!). I pay attention to what foods I eat might subtly affect a particular whiskey I sip even an hour or more after a meal, I pioneer food pairings as well...I'm no noobie, and I say that this is perfectly balanced, perfection in a bottle. About palatting techniques (briefly), find a very, very dry whiskey, and experiment with different palatting techniques until you can make it taste sweet-- because whatever flavors might be revealed in doing so, will only be enjoyed IF, you do so...experiment with various ways you sip, and swallow (never gulp even a small sip! Swallow it in 2-3 miniature intervals while palatting). Yes, that was the brief explanation, have fun learning the rest :) This is the best era Bunnahabhain has seen in a decade, I appreciate the fine attention to detail from this distillery lately-- it's never been better in my experience. Looong finish for a 12 too! Highly recommend even to those weary of Islays. :) I just finished my third bottle, with two more unopened.
I don't know what you regularly drink but this is about as natural and authentic as it gets. Unchill filtered and natural colour and an age statement as well. It might not rock yor socks but artificial it most definitely is not.
Before I get slammed I think this is a safe scotch. It is well balanced and smooth but just doesn't have that wow factor when you try it. It is good but there are better entry level drams available. Good but not great.
So well rounded what a surprise!
Not as peaty as most other Islays. At first I was a little disappointed with the immediate taste lacking that classic taste of the sea, but the Bunna 12 has a great mouth feel with a smokiness that lingers with tastes of vanilla and honey almonds. It has a long finish, and when you add some water it really opens up some more of that peat/sea salt taste.
Very affordable and is a great Islay for any newbies to this type of scotch.
I'm the first to say reviews should never ever be scrutinized. But anyone reading this needs to know that this is basically a non-peated whisky, very much the exception to the Islay "rule". In fact, Bunnahabhain brings in fresh spring water from the source to avoid any that may have run thru a bog, and uses low-phenolic malted barley.
You obviously like your Islay peat, which is wonderful - I love them too - but saying Bunnahabhain tasted sherried is well... very correct! Sherry casks are employed at this distillery. Did you not see the tasting notes from the fine Chaps at Master of Malt?
Having any dram let you down is never good. While you may be disappointed, I don't think it was the whisky's fault. Hopefully you can find it a good home!
I didn't like this scotch at all at first because of the sherry flavor. BUT I added a little water and tried it again. Water is key in bringing out the great flavors of this scotch. It has a very short finish, but is extremely smooth. There really isn't any smoke/peat flavor here...Bunnahabhain 12 has it's own flavor.
After reading all the reviews I was excited to add this to my 30 bottle collection of mostly Islay scotches. I was extremely disappointing since this tasted just like a sherried bourbon. I couldn't even get down one glass because of the awful flavor. I will stick with my Laphroaig, Lagavullin, Smokehead, Ledaig, Ardbeg, and Bowmore in my normal rotation.
Without a doubt you will not find a more complex 12yo whisky on the market for this price. Money well spent. You won't be disappointed.
This has become my go-to dram when I am not looking for something specific (peat bomb, sherry bomb, etc). It is extremely well rounded; you get a bit of everything, and it works very well together. I hadn't tried it prior to the improvements (46.3%, no coloring, non-chill filtered), but from what I hear, those of you who weren't impressed before should really give this one another taste. Great.
This is my go-to whisky, and I'm not ashamed to say it. No color and un-chillfiltered? Yes please! This has the maturity and complexity of a much older malt, a perfect balance of saltiness and sweet, and coastal characteristics that will take you right to the water's edge where the Bunnahabhain distillery sits.
An amazing taste experience for the price! Guaranteed you'll feel the salt air, hear the gulls, and smell the damp green hills when you escape in this beautiful dram. It's worth every penny!
Still on the fence? Order a sample from the chaps at Master of Malt!
I rarely find fault with a scotch. Not sure this one falls into that category. it tastes industrial, false and even tacky. I taste molasses and not enough bite. I regret purchasing a bottle; a first for this scotch lover.
I had my first taste of this last night and its my 5th Islay and I liked it the best of them all so far. The Laphroaig 10 and 18 are kind of single trick ponies, The Coal Ila 12 was great. The Ardbeg Corryvreckan is great as was the Kilchoman but I think the Bunnahabhain 12 is my favorite Islay now. Very little smoke and not a lot of typical over the top Islay flavor but very well rounded overall.
One of the most tasteful of the 12-year old single malts. Sweet, caramel, hint of smoke, oak. Well matured and rich!!! Yummy!
Love this whisky. Can't say enough good about it.
The color is a gorgeous caramel. The nose is a pure delight, maple, orange, rosebuds, cinnamon and nutmeg.
The taste . . . a pure delight. Not as much peat as I like in an Islay but just a pleasure to drink. Similar to Highland Park 12, or Glenfiddich 18, which are two of my favorites. If I had a choice between the three . . . oh my! . . . might be this Bunnahabhain.
This is the first un-chillfiltered whisky that i tried. The taste explosion blew me away! The stuff is awesome with a slight bit of peat in the background. it really stands out for me, very well balanced, one of a kind and really worth a try.
Interesting to read the varied reviews of Bunna 12YO - I think much is down to one's experience and expectations. I wouldn't say that it's one for malt whisky beginners nor for someone trying an Islay malt for the first time. Complex, unusual, rewarding, even 'burnt rubber' - it's all of those. I love it. I couldn't say which is my favourite Islay malt but Bunna 12YO is up there with Ardbeg, Caol Ila and Lagavulin. And much cheaper than any of those!
Smooth and balanced drink. I recommend.
Not much to find on the nose, just some salted caramel and sea air. However, the surprisingly smooth, every so sweet and smoky palate lends itself to a long buttery finish with subtle complexities. Overall a very enjoyable dram, with light peat and great finish! Not overly complex, but far from being one-noted. A superb whisky for the price!!
What a delightful surprise. My wife and I visited Bunnahabhain whilst staying in Islag at the Laphroaig View Guest house. Since arriving back in South Australia, I have purchased two 12 year old Bunnahabhain Whisky bottles and I have introduced several people to this most excellent Whisky - smooth, lovely nose, lingering mellow aftertaste - thank you.
i don't really like peat but I love this! Just a hint and well balanced with a touch of sweetness and spice.
Much better than many flat 12 year old speysides and excellent value. I keep coming back to Bunna 12. - it just does it for me. Lovely long finish and bottled at 46%. It has all the Islay magic without much peat.
You have to have some scotch experience to like this. Awesome in a word. Peat, salt, spice, with a cocoa/buttery textured finish.
Just plain delicious. What more can be said.
Can't imagine a better whisky for the price . . . and even for double the price.
I am a Highland Park 12 lover (as well as several Islays) and this is right up there with the best of the best.
Stunning quality and complexity at this age and price. An Islay malt which deserves much more attention. Add a little water and you'll be in malt heaven.
I am now half way through my second bottle of this amazing whisky. There is bags of flavour and for me it has just the right amount of peaty smoke. I love its sweet salty fruit freshness and the darker complex sherry undertones. One of those rare drams that you can't be without and great value bottled at over 46%.
While I agree with many that Bunnahabhain 12 seems to have just a touch of peat, which melds perfectly with this sherry bomb of a whisky, according to the distillery it is actually unpeated. I struggle to believe it because it means all that smoky flavor in it comes purely from the wood.
This dram offers good value for it's money. I love the amber color to start with. The body is light and rolls cleanly through your glass. On the nose, it's quite gentle, with both hints of seaside and meadowy landscapes. The palate reveals a smooth herbal sensation, ultimately resulting in a medium long finish characterized by a trace of pepper and more herbs. Definitely enjoyable whisky which is nicely accesable and friendly on the tongue.
n anybody tell me what Bunnahabhain means?
This has been a real discovery. I picked up a bottle while visiting Islay and have really enjoyed it. Rich, complex flavours with a beautiful, dark chocolate finish. I highly recommend it.
Really enjoying the 25 year old at present.
Would like the old style bottle back with the older fisherman on the front as I liked it.
I was given a bottle as a gift and really enjoyed it - a touch of peat but considerably less than most Islay malts. A lovely expression.
This malt simply tastes rancid--like a cross between burnt rubber and rotting meat. It's completely undrinkable and I don't even think I could blend the off flavors away.
I picked this up along with the sister brand Deanston 12 when they were offered at a £10 discount at my local supermarket. They are both bottled unchillfiltered at over 46% and represent great value. The Bunna has more flavour and a fair degree of peat influence without it taking control. My only disappointment is a distinctly musty nose, but it is less obvious on the palate. All in all, a cracker of a single malt. I shall be ordering more at full price.
One of the best from Islay Scottland!
Life is a a bowl of cornflakes isn't it? Bunnahabhain own up to 1 million casks, all of which are on their 3rd or 4th use. The bunna 12 was the bottle which started my obsession/addiction to whisky many moons ago. Sadly, a visit to the distillery this year confirmed the crisis they are in - tired casks, maximum production reached, a lack of cask storage and infrastructure expenditure neglect have culminated in the drop in quality of this revered dram. I hope the new owners, Distell will create the turnaround. Until then, forget the 12, enjoy the 18 and cross fingers all will be well for the future.
I'm new to Whisky but I've had enough experience to know great whisky exists and this isn't a great. Maybe older versions would be better to mellow out the alcohol sting idk. It's better with water but not something I'd recommend or buy again.
Reminded me of a mild Brandy, too much sherry. I was disappointed because I paid $ 50 hoping to get some peat and smokey flavour but got none.
A deep amber colour for a 12 year old, with a good, medium body, leads to a rather disappointing and offensive nose. Orange peel and spices are evident, along with slight banana notes. The high alcohol content is very prominent in the nose.
To taste, initially it is smooth, however as soon as the whisky is allowed to settle on the palate, the bite is overwhelming. Adding water eases the bite and relaxes the palate to succumb to the almost non-existent finish.
In summary, an Islay Whisky that has none of the stereotypical characteristics of the well loved "Islay's"
a seaside breeze of salty peat followed by gentle smooth vanilla and a beautiful oily brininess of a mouth feel thanks to the no-chill filtration still vibrant and clean with note of citrus coming through and a slight nuttiness on the finish only a drop of water needed if any and after 10/15 minutes a caramel smell develops beautiful, a great whisky in my book, the reviewer above has obviously lost all sense of smell and taste especially if he/she can not smell that PEAT.
На вкус и запах как солодовая брага. Да, есть мягкость и херес угадывается, торфа и дыма нет вообще. Очень своеобразный и противный солод. Самый худший что я пил. Отзывы о нём сильно преувеличены. На любителя.
Got it as a present so it had a head start but have to say smooth as silk - a definite winner!
I will not be without this one. It is outstanding in its class/price.
The more I have drunk it the better i have liked it. I would have no hesitation in recomending it to you.
We had a blind tasting of six different Islays. There were nine of us sampling all the drams and it was unanimous, the 12yo Bunnahabhain was the worst of the six. Burnt rubber was actually written on two separate note cards.
Beautiful details in the nose. Caramels and apricots. A touch of water opens it up and brings more smiles. No artificial coloring and not chill filtered, too. A great, great sip. The bottle empties quickly.
Creamy and smooth. An excellent value. I much prefer the Bunnahabhain 25 (10 out of 10!), but for far less money, you can get this and pretend it's the 25!
I've a wee taste by the fire every evening; it is the best part of my day.
Certainly a game of too halves.- neat it is strong and sherried - add a dash (more Like a drip!) and it becomes a smooth fruity Xmas pudding of a malt with a hint of vanilla hanging round the edges. Exceptional - and a bottle you want to keep exploring further to unearth its hidden flavours !
Jim Murray doesn't like it - but I think it's great. Plenty of punch and nice caramels. No peat but still an Islay great.
This is the best malt i have ever drunk!Every sip from this brings back good old memories.Its aroma reminds me of wild peaches,wet smoke,cinnamon and the salty sea air.Without a doubt the king of malts.I need a drink now!
Sherried, black currant, lightly seaweed, nutty, smooth spices. A very different than older presentation, but not necessarily better. I have to mention, that when I have less than 1/5 bottle left, it suddenly started to taste very bitter and sulfuric. Maybe oxygen influence? I hope that was just a dud, because otherwise this is a great stuff.
Is he sitting on Shergar?
If you look closely you can see that without any doubt the character on the bottle is Lord Lucan in disguise. Surely the police can get him at last!

Extended Plays
Nil Recurring is an EP by Porcupine Tree, released on 17 September 2007. The standard version of the mini-album is composed of four tracks written during the Fear of a Blank Planet recording sessions and was completed over the summer of 2007.
Steven Wilson said of the title:
"I just thought it was an interesting idea I had. I had this instrumental, and I didn't have a title, so I called it "Nil Recurring". It's always quite hard to name instrumentals, because obviously there's no subject matter to relate it to. I just thought the idea was quite funny. I kind of like absurd titles. I kind of have a history of having these titles that make no sense, like Up the Downstair. I mean, Nil Recurring is another paradox-like statement. You cannot have the number nil recurring. So it's just a bit of fun really. And of course, it seemed to fit in with the lyrical concept of some of the other pieces that featured on Fear of a Blank Planet. It was that idea of blankness, of not being there, or negativity that helped gave that piece - and the EP - its title."

347 F.3d 1272 (11th Cir. 2003), 02-12520, Walton v. Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc.
Docket Nº: 02-12520
Party Name: Walton v. Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc.
Case Date: October 20, 2003
Court: United States Courts of Appeals, Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
347 F.3d 1272 (11th Cir. 2003)
Luanne WALTON, Plaintiff-Appellant,
JOHNSON & JOHNSON SERVICES, INC., Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc., Defendants-Appellees.
No. 02-12520.
United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit
Claire Saady, Lutz, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
Terence G. Connor, Marlene Rodriguez, Lisa Rothberg Askowitz, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP, Miami, FL, for Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Before ANDERSON and WILSON, Circuit Judges, and O'KELLEY [*], District Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Luanne Walton appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of her employer, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Ortho"). Walton sued Ortho under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., claiming that the company was responsible for sexual harassment committed by her supervisor. The district court concluded that although there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether there was actionable harassment, the employer was entitled to summary judgment on the basis of the affirmative defense recognized by the Supreme Court in Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth, 524 U.S. 742, 118 S.Ct. 2257, 141 L.Ed.2d 633 (1998), and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775, 118 S.Ct. 2275, 141 L.Ed.2d 662 (1998). Walton appeals that decision.
In reviewing the district court's summary judgment order, we must consider all of the evidence in the record, viewing it in the light most favorable to the non-moving party's claims. See Frederick v. Sprint/United Mgmt. Co., 246 F.3d 1305, 1309 (11th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, the following account is drawn from the record evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to Walton's allegations.
Walton worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative ("PSR") for Ortho for a number of years preceding the events in question. In 1997, she requested and received a transfer from Virginia to Tampa, Florida. Like many other PSRs, Walton worked out of her home, spending much of her time calling on doctor's offices in an effort to persuade doctors to write prescriptions for Ortho products. Each PSR reported directly to a district manager, and the district manager would sometimes accompany the PSR on his or her calls (called a "drive-with").
In January of 1999, Ortho went outside the company and hired George Mykytiuk, of Eli Lilly, to work as the district manager for the Tampa area. Mykytiuk had been referred to Ortho by one of its employees, Lou Ferrerra, who was himself a former Eli Lilly employee. Though Mykytiuk did not directly supervise employees during his tenure at Eli Lilly, he had worked as a national account manager, and based on his business experience in the pharmaceutical industry, Ortho's regional business director, Cathy Wichert, felt that he would be the best candidate for the job. Wichert contacted two other Ortho employees who worked at Eli Lilly while Mykytiuk was there in order to confirm that he had been working in the position he claimed he was. Though the company, when it hired Mykytiuk, did a background investigation (including a criminal history check), it did not contact his then-current employer or check any of his references. 1
Mykytiuk was Walton's direct supervisor. Mykytiuk, like the PSRs, worked out of his home office. 2 In April, Walton told Mykytiuk that she was interested in obtaining a promotion to a hospital representative position. Mykytiuk told her that he was well-connected to upper management and that he could assist her in getting the promotion.
On June 14, 1999, Mykytiuk was scheduled to drive with Walton while she made her calls. Instead, Walton claims that Mykytiuk asked her to go shopping with him, took her to a movie, and asked her to accompany him to dinner. Walton claims that Mykytiuk tried to hold her hand during the movie, and that when they parted company that evening, he tried to kiss her. Walton claims that she told Mykytiuk that his behavior was inappropriate and that he apologized and promised never to do it again.
The next day, June 15, Mykytiuk traveled with Walton while she made her calls, ostensibly for the purpose of observing her performance in the field. At some point during the day, Mykytiuk indicated that he needed to go to his office, which was at his apartment, in order to finish some inventory paperwork. Walton accompanied him to his apartment. When Mykytiuk finished his paperwork, he told Walton that he did not feel like working the rest of the day. He began talking about his marital difficulties and picked up a gray box and pulled out some letters his wife had written him. He asked Walton to read the letters aloud. At some point thereafter, Mykytiuk took a gun out of the box and showed it to Walton. Later, when Walton was about to leave, Mykytiuk grabbed Walton's breasts and buttocks and attempted to kiss her. She again told him that this behavior was inappropriate, and
he again apologized and said it would not happen in the future.
A couple of days later, Walton, at Mykytiuk's request, came by Mykytiuk's apartment and accepted a key and security code to his apartment. Mykytiuk told her that he considered her an assistant manager and that she needed to have access to his office in case he was out of town and needed something faxed to him.
More than a week later, on June 29, 1999, Walton hosted a dinner program for 95 nurse practitioners, a program that Mykytiuk attended. After the dinner was over, Mykytiuk complimented Walton on her performance. He told Walton that he was intoxicated and asked her to follow him home. He indicated that he wanted to recap the program once they got there. 3 When she arrived at Mykytiuk's apartment, he offered her a glass of wine, which she accepted. He pulled out the gray box, removed the gun, and placed it back in the box after talking about it for a few moments. Mykytiuk continued to talk about his marital difficulties. He next began to compliment Walton, telling her what a good friend she had been to him. He then purportedly jumped on top of her and began to kiss her. Walton claims that she told him "no" and tried to push him away, and that despite her efforts, he physically entered her without her consent. She testified that she fell into a state of shock and that she believes she was raped again later that evening, after Mykytiuk carried her into his bedroom.
Walton did not immediately report the alleged assault to either her employer or the police. The next day, Walton called in sick. She returned to work later that week, and about a week later, on July 8, she attended a lunch business meeting with Mykytiuk. After the meeting, he asked her to give him a ride back to his apartment. When she got there, she was offered and again accepted a glass of wine from Mykytiuk. He asked her to lie down on the floor so that he could give her a massage. She complied, and, according to Walton, Mykytiuk allegedly raped her yet again. After the alleged assault, Mykytiuk apologized to Walton, who was crying. He said that it would not happen again and that they would have a professional relationship in the future.
Once again, Walton did not immediately report Mykytiuk's conduct to either her employer or the police. She did tell her husband the next day that Mykytiuk had tried to kiss her and that he was calling her a lot, making her life very stressful. Though Walton was able to avoid Mykytiuk in the days immediately following the July 8 assault, she claims that Mykytiuk continued with his incessant phone calls. Walton then decided to contact Mykytiuk's psychologist, Dr. Karen Cervenka, hoping that she could persuade Mykytiuk to stop his advances. 4
On July 21, 1999, Walton had a meeting with Dr. Cervenka. At that meeting, Walton told Dr. Cervenka that one of her patients, George Mykytiuk, was harassing Walton at work. Dr. Cervenka asked Walton whether she had sex with Mykytiuk, and Walton told her that she had, but that she did not "want to." Walton never told Dr. Cervenka that Mykytiuk had raped her. Dr. Cervenka arranged for Walton and Mykytiuk to have a joint session (called a "conjoint" session) to discuss
these issues on July 26, 1999. At the conjoint session, Walton and Mykytiuk worked out a 30-day agreement in which he was to no longer call Walton or ask her to his apartment for meetings. In addition, Walton was not to be alone with Mykytiuk at any meetings.
Mykytiuk, however, allegedly violated that agreement on numerous occasions. He showed up uninvited at her house, wanting to go water skiing. And, after driving Walton to a meeting in Orlando on August 21, 1999, Mykytiuk invited Walton to his room so that he could review her "good sales numbers." Though she initially refused, Mykytiuk persuaded her that she could trust him. Once there, he tried to hug and kiss her, and he managed to fondle her breasts and buttocks over her objection. A few days later, on August 26, 1999, after a business dinner, Mykytiuk allegedly pressed Walton to have sex with him again and tried to hug and kiss her. Walton refused and pushed him away.
The next day, August 27, 1999, Mykytiuk asked Walton to give him a ride home after they met with another sales representative in a nearby town. Walton returned to Mykytiuk's apartment, this time for the purpose of using the restroom. While there, Mykytiuk purportedly handed her a "Victoria Secret's" catalogue and told her to pick something out for herself.
During this time period, Walton claims that Mykytiuk continued to make harassing phone calls. At some point in July, Walton had confided to Kim Van Goidstnoven, a friend who worked at one of Ortho's sister companies (a company under the Johnson & Johnson umbrella), that Mykytiuk was paying too much attention to her....

Q: How can I generate a maven property that's a UUID? I have a file in my build that I want to put a UUID in every time a build is ran. I use maven's @my.property@ to do this for other properties like project.version. What's the simplest way to have maven insert a universal unique identifier (UUID) similar to java.util.UUID does? (I'd rather not write a plugin if I can avoid it)

A: Edit: Actually, the buildNumber is not random per build but rather the git commit hash of the build. Coincidentally, I also needed this so it's helpful, but does not answer the question.

It appears the 'buildNumber' property does what I need. I'm going forward with that.
Maven property:
[echoproperties] buildNumber=fb08b44b310c489f5b170842d3aac3c5eb5a6f7b

In my file:
    "uid": "fb08b44b310c489f5b170842d3aac3c5eb5a6f7b",

I used this plugin that prints all available properties (careful as some might differ - like env.* - between environments:

After last week's ring madness at Le Portel, I decided to check my local spots in Gent today to see if any gulls/rings were around. About 70 LBBG's in total, of which 5 were ringed. One new one, a 3rd cal bird (off course from RJ Buijs's project): black GR. There was also one c-ringed Herring gull, yellow N1, a bird that I have seen 3 times in the past two years (always in winter), but the last observation dated already from October last year, so it was nice to see this one being back here, and maybe it will stay again for winter?
After this I went to the nature reserve of the Bourgoyen, where there were still good numbers of Black-headed gulls, and also the Belgian-ringed LBBG LSA.A was still present. Other nice birds here included two Spoonbills and one Little egret.
LBBG red E4 (RJ Buijs), one of the regular ones.
LBBG red EG (RJ Buijs), my second observation of this bird (the previous time I saw it was in May).
LBBG red LF (RJ Buijs), another very regular bird.
LBBG white M.8 (RJ Buijs), the partner of red LF.
3rd cal LBBG black GR (RJ Buijs), new bird!
Herring yellow N1 (RJ Buijs), nice to see a ringed Herring here.
LBBG blue LSA.A (E Stienen), still present.
Little egret at the Bourgoyen, we don't see them that often near Gent.

Waikeria uprising: Prisoners still rioting at Waikato jail
Waikeria Prison remains in lockdown today as an 18-hour stand-off between prisoners and guards continues, with rioting inmates setting fire to mattresses on the rooftop overnight.
Sixteen Waikeria prisoners are still refusing to surrender this morning. Four had given up overnight, but the jail has been significantly damaged.
The 16 prisoners remained within the secure perimeter of the top jail facility.
Damage to the top jail appeared to be significant. While the condition of the building will need to be assessed, it was unlikely that prisoners will be accommodated there again, Corrections said in a statement.
It said there has been no loss of life or injury to staff or prisoners. Fire and Emergency NZ, Police and St John remain at the prison and are working closely with Corrections staff.
Corrections described the prisoners behind the revolt as "non-compliant".
Late yesterday, 49 prisoners were evacuated from the rioting sector facility to another unit in the prison. Overnight a further 163 men were temporarily moved to other locations within the prison, said the spokesperson.
Specialist Advanced Control and Restraint teams, made up of staff from a range of prisons, are at the jail, where inmates have been rioting since early Tuesday afternoon.
Photographs emailed to NZME late last night showed a large cloud of smoke visible from neighbouring farmland.
Police, firefighters and St John confirmed they were still onsite as Corrections officers continued to try to negotiate with the inmates and ensure the safety of everyone at the prison.
A spokesperson said yesterday that 19 prisoners had been seen on the roof of the building. This included those who were involved in lighting fires in a yard earlier today, along with several others who were able to get out of their cells.
"The prisoners have been able to access some parts of the building by breaching the roof space, however their movement inside the building is restricted by internal gates, barriers and secured doors.
"There is a large amount of smoke around the building, which is coming from mattresses set alight by the prisoners."
"There are around 230 prisoners in total in the 'top jail' facility and we will not hesitate to evacuate further prisoners if it becomes necessary in order to keep them safe."
FENZ was originally called to Waikeria after inmates lit several fires in the prison's exercise yard on Tuesday afternoon.
About 20 prisoners were using the yard at the time.
The situation was thought to be under control before nine prisoners refused to comply with instructions, Newshub reported.
Offenders allegedly took toilet doors off their hinges and used them as weapons against staff.
Corrections Association president Alan Whitley said the union was offering support.
"We're always concerned about people when a situation like this is going on, but we've got specialised teams that have got specialised training, they're professional people and they'll do a professional job to get the situation under control," Whitley told RNZ.
St John treated a number of staff and prisoners due to smoke inhalation. Earlier in the evening it was thought at least one prisoner was bleeding after an altercation with guards.
A prisoner on remand said a riot at the prison had been imminent, with prisoners protesting for basic human rights. They claimed there were issues at the prison, including toilet paper taking days to be provided, Newshub reported.
Last year, two Waikeria Prison Correction officers were punched in the face within nearly as many days, while fighting between prisoners has also been reported.
A prisoner punched an officer in the face and another officer was also injured when he stepped in to help.
That altercation came after an officer was threatened and punched a few days earlier.
There had also been reports beforehand of prisoners fighting among themselves.
Waikeria Prison is one of New Zealand's biggest prisons, located on a 1200ha site south of Te Awamutu in the Waikato region.
The "top jail" where the inmates are currently contained was built in 1911 and is the oldest part of the prison. It is being replaced by a new facility being built at the prison and which is scheduled to open in 2022.

Delhi temple attack: Witness says AAP MLA Imran Hussain joined the mob and did not stop attacks on temple
Author: Opindia Staff
Publication: Opindia.com

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has maintained a stoic silence over the Chandni Chowk temple desecrating incident.
After the horrific incident of desecrating a temple in Hauz Kazi, Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi allegedly by a Muslim mob, the situation seems to have returned to normal. As per Times of India journalist Raj Shekhar Jha, three miscreants have been detained by the Police. One of them is reportedly a juvenile.
A day after the incident, startling reports have been emerging pertaining to the details of the temple attack. On July 1, a mob of 300-400 men barged into Durga Mata Mandir in Lal Kuan in Chandni Chowk area and had desecrated idols present inside the shrine. According to locals who had posted videos of the temple on social media, at around 12 am, the Muslim mob entered the temple and began to thrash Hindus residing the neighbourhood after they tried stopping Muslims from destroying temple idols.
According to Times of India journalist Raj Shekhar Jha, the tensions in the area had increased after local Muslims supported and gathered in large numbers, who shouted slogans in favour of a fellow Muslims, who allegedly attacked and broke idols inside the temple.
Raj Shekhar Jha @rajshekharTOI
After a highly tensed 24 hours, situation seems to return to normal in Hauz Kazi. Kudos to local Hindus to have maintained their cool despite a temple being vandalized. This is what the real India is. Yet again shows words like "intolerance" are sheer propaganda.
That said, deplorable that the local Muslims supported, gathered in large numbers and shouted slogans in favour of a few from their community getting down to this heinous act. Peace and brotherhood will never be achieved with this attitude.
9:13 AM - Jul 2, 2019
Shockingly, a large number of Whatsapp forwards and groups were created to circulate news of a Muslim's death to gather people to the spot in large numbers indicating that there was a plan to fuel large scale violence in the area against Hindus.
In a video shared by Pradip Bhandari, CEO of Jan Ki Baat, one witness stated that few intoxicated Muslim men had gathered under their house. As people around the temple stopped them, they brought in more than 300-400 men to attack. He further alleged that Imran Hussain (AAP MLA) came and supported the Muslim mob but no one came in their support.
Pradeep Bhandari @pradip103
Replying to @pradip103
"As soon as people stopped some muslim men frm drinking whiskey under their house they brought 300-400 more fellow men to attack us.
Imran Hussain (MLA) came and supported them but no one came in our support " Locals

8:16 PM - Jul 1, 2019
In another video shared by Bhandari, the priest of the temple can be heard stating that Muslim mob would have killed them had they not closed the door of the temple from inside. The priest also alleged that the mob even abused them.
"दरवाजे बंद नही करते तो वो लोग अंदर घुसकर सबकी हत्या कर देते. यह लोग बिना रुके पत्थर फेंक रहे थे और गालियां भी दे रहे थे". Watch @jankibaat1 ground story from HausQuazi Chavdi Bazar Chandni Chowk area where group of muslim men destroyed an inconic Hindu temple.
The Delhi police which chose to refer the communal attack as "altercation and scuffle over parking issue" has tweeted that they have taken legal action and are making efforts to pacify both sides.
According to reports, the Durga Mata Mandir in Lal Kuan in Chandni Chowk area became the target of vandalism by a mob of 300-400 people on the night of June 30, 2019. According to police, this was triggered by a skirmish caused by an argument over parking. When the argument over parking in the area became intense, some people started pelting stones. Later in the night a mob entered the temple and vandalised it. The police have confirmed that Muslim youths in the area attacked the temple.
Union Minister and Chandni Chowk MP Dr Harsh Vardhan visited the site this morning and condemned the incident while appealing for peace. "The kind of thing done to the temple is unforgivable. I have been told that Police is already in action, culprits will be arrested soon and punished. I appeal to the people to maintain harmony," he said.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has maintained complete silence over the incident.

Schubert, chromaticism, and the ascending 5-6 sequence
David Damschroder
Music (Twin Cities)
A diverse selection of wondrously creative renderings by Franz Schubert of the ascending 5-6 sequence serves as the foundation for a reeevaluation of the procedure and of the analytical tools used to describe it and to assess its role within a musical and (for texted music) poetical context. A range of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century thought on both sequential progression and harmonic analysis in general, by Emanuel Aloys Förster, Johann Philipp Kirnberger, and Gottfried Weber, among others, is assayed. Opportunities for chromaticism within the 5 and 6 phases of the 5-6 cycle are separately considered. The 5-phase trajectories are classified as diatonic, idiosyncratic, or obstinate. Despite its long history and current dominance, the mode of analysis based on Roman numerals and tonicizations is eschewed for sequential progressions. Instead, the connective role of sequential progressions within broader harmonic progressions is emphasized.

FACING MY FEAR: TO SAVE MY AUTISTIC SON'S FUTURE, I HAD TO LET HIM GO | "Global Possibilities"
Watching the child you once cradled in your arms walk out the door and into their own life always fills a parent with a sense of terror and loss. You raise them as best you can and hope that the adult you created will succeed.
When that child, however, will never truly be an adult in the typical sense of the word, it's more complicated.
Over 21 years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful, blue-eyed baby boy. At first, all went well. Evan, my son, initially met all his developmental milestones. But then, at 18 months, I realized something was horribly wrong.
While other children babbled, Evan was strangely silent. While other children played with each other, Evan played by himself, endlessly rolling toy cars back and forth.
We started making the rounds to doctors, and, after many evaluations and tests, got the diagnosis. Evan was on the autistic spectrum. Initially we were told that it was doubtful he would speak, or be self-sufficient.
Despite the dire prognosis, I threw myself into "curing" my son. After years of therapists, and hard work, Evan had limited, basic speech, could dress and take care of his toileting needs.
Even with those gains, Evan never progressed mentally beyond toddlerhood. Physically, however, he continued to grow into an adult, eventually reaching 5ft10in. He weighs over 200 pounds.
I began worrying about his future early on. I couldn't expect him to grow up and support himself. I also couldn't expect him to live without someone caring for him. I initially thought that relatives who loved him would be able to care for him should my husband and I become sick or die.
After my husband returned from trip to Ireland when Evan was 15, however, we knew that was not the case. We had left Evan with my mother. Within a day she realized she was not up to the task of caring for the very large, 15-year-old toddler my son had become. Both of my sisters lived nearby, so every day they "passed" Evan between them, no one capable of caring for him for more than several hours at a time.
After we learned what happened, I knew other arrangements were needed for Evan's future. I could not expect family members to take care of him – he needed professionals. To be honest, I was not sure either my husband or I could do it on our own either. I became increasingly nervous about Evan's future, and often found myself lying awake at night wondering what would become of him.
I threw myself into researching what the potential arrangements could be for an adult with autism and eventually realized that it would be best for him to go to a residential school out of state. We live in Connecticut, and if a child lives with his or her parents when they "graduate" from school at 21, then that child will not be eligible for an adult residential placement until there is an "emergency" (like both parents dying).
If a child like Evan was in an out-of-state residential school, however, they automatically qualify for residential funding from the state when they turn 21. I knew I had to send my child, who was still effectively a toddler, away for his own good. It was the hardest decision I ever made, and I had to convince my husband that it was the right one as well.
Even after we decided what to do, making it happen was not easy. For him to go to an out-of-state residential school meant I had to get our local school district to agree, since they would be the ones actually paying for it. At over $200,000 a year, it was not something the district wanted to do. We could not pay any of the cost, because that would disqualify Evan from receiving state funding when he turned 21. We commenced on a two-year legal battle with the school district.
In the course of all that, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and could not meet all of Evan's needs when I myself was sick. My cancer was caught early, and my treatment was not overwhelmingly invasive, but it was enough to make me realize that I would not always be in perfect health. Evan needed the care of someone who was. I redoubled my efforts to place him in a residential out-of-state school, eventually gaining him a placement in New York when he was 17.
Evan, now 21, lives in a state-run group home 40 minutes away from our home. He has friends – a social life with peers that are like him, something he did not have at home.
Most importantly, Evan is now somewhere that, should I die or become ill again, he will always be cared for. Giving up a child is the hardest thing for a mother to do, but it was the only way to ensure his future.

Sea lice numbers not necessarily influenced by salmon farms: industry studies
New data suggests sea lice levels trend up or down; Activists are skeptical
Nov. 28, 2022 11:00 a.m.
No fish farms does not necessarily mean no sea lice, according to two aquaculture industry studies.
The annual studies released by MOWI Canada and the Salmon Coast Field Station (SCFS) in October, suggest that no location, whether close to a salmon farm or not, has demonstrated consistent levels of sea lice prevalence in nearly a decade of sampling.
The industry injects $1.5 billion into the regional economy and employs some 6,500 workers scattered along the coast of Vancouver Island. However, with the Liberal government's announcement in 2020 to phase out the practice, 24 combined fish farms have been shuttered in the Discovery Islands and Broughton Archipelago, leaving about half a dozen left.
The MOWI study, entitled "Juvenile Wild Sea Lice Monitoring" was conducted in collaboration with Mainstream Biological Consulting, Pacifius Biological Service as well as the Kitasoo/Xai'xais First Nation.
The studies also found that during their lives, anywhere between 70 and 95 per cent of wild juvenile salmon hosted 2 or less sea lice, irrespective of the research or whether or not they were sampled near or at a salmon farm.
"The data that has been collected by these independent researchers, now shows that sea lice are present on juvenile salmon, and are highly variable from year to year," says Mowi Director of Communications Ian Roberts. "This is due to a myriad of environmental influences, regardless of salmon farms operating or not."
Researchers based their findings on two variables: prevalence and intensity (number of sea lice per fish). While there are cases that sea lice can be prevalent but less intense, and vice versa.
In the Discovery Islands, for example, prevalence was between four and eight per cent in 2017 and 2018, relatively low. But that prevalence increased in 2019 and 2020, to 29 and 21 per cent, respectively. With farms removed, prevalence was down to nine per cent this past spring.
"When we look at the infestation rate, in the midpoint of the Discovery Islands where the fish farms were removed, the fish sample over a six-year range, with two infestation rates that are lower, two that are higher, and two smack dab in the middle," says Lance Stewardson, lead biologist of the study with the Mainstream Biological team. "The infestation without farms is pretty much the median."
The Broughton Archipelago, in the eight years of monitoring, has been relatively stable. There hasn't been much of a change. However, in 2022, there happened to be the highest infestation since monitoring began in 2016, with fewer farms.

"The ocean is a big place. There are natural reservoirs providing and responsible for infestation of juvenile salmon. Water quality, temperature can all play a factor. Removing the farms doesn't necessarily mean the end of sea lice," Stewardson says.
"What we've seen is that no farms doesn't necessarily equal no lice."
However, fish farm opponents remain skeptical. Alexandra Morton, who has been whose research on wild salmon and sea lice was key to the decision by the Federal Fisheries and Oceans Department (DFO) to close all open net fish farms says the numbers found in the study are a bit skewed.
Morton says that 708 of the fish that were tested in the 45 sites in Broughton, nearly half were caught before fish farms on regulation routes, while only 68 were caught beside fish farms.
"It will be interesting to go back to this data when more of the farms deep in the Archipelago are removed," Morton says. "The impact of where the farms are placed in archipelago environments will be known."
For the results conducted in the Discovery Islands region, Morton alleges that the three divisions made up in the study, pre-exposure and post exposure, are not valid.
"The information on the post exposure region, for example, has always included active fish farms," Morton says. "It also includes information on the only active salmon farm in the Discovery Islands."
That farm, Shaw Point, had the worst performing area in 2022, according to a report by the DFO.
All sides agree, however, that more long-term monitoring needs to take place before an imminent conclusion is drawn regarding the impact open net fish farms have had on the infestation of sea lice.
MOWI, however, stands by its data.
"Some campaigners are determined to lead the public to believe that sea lice disappear when farms are not operating," says Roberts. "The data shows that this is simply not true."
This study, along with data shown to support it, will be a tricky element in the weeks and months ahead, as the Federal government goes full steam ahead with their decision to close all open-net fish farms on B.C.'s coast by 2025.

Q: Eigen value of Hermitian Matrices The way I have proved the Eigen values of Hermitian matrices are real like this:
I considered $H$ is a hermitian matrix.
Operator applied in ket space $ \ \ <\psi|H | \psi> \ \ = \lambda$
Operator applied in ket  space $\ \ <\psi|H | \psi> \ \  = \lambda^\star \  $
There is no state in the right hand side because of the normalization.
If we subtract the two equations we get $\lambda = \lambda ^*$
Therefore the eigenvalues are real
Have I done in the right way?

A: I can't post a comment, but the operator must be applied to the eigenkets, where you have the relation $H |\psi\rangle = \lambda |\psi \rangle$. You do not need to substract, just need to see that the two quantities are equal.
Just for the sake of completeness, I'll do the derivation in terms of inner products.
We have, taking a normalized eigenvector $\psi$ of $H$ such that $H\psi=\lambda \psi$:
$\langle \psi, H \psi \rangle=\lambda \langle \psi, \psi \rangle=\lambda$,  (taking linearity in the second argument, as customary in physics).
Since $H$ is hermitian (i.e. $H=H^*$) we have
$\langle \psi, H \psi\rangle = \langle H \psi,\psi \rangle= \lambda^* \langle \psi, \psi \rangle=\lambda^*$  (linear conjugate in the first argument)
So we have that $\lambda$ is equal to its complex conjugate, i.e., it takes real values only.

Coach Hopes Tough Non-League Slate Pays off for Young Toledo Basketball Team
Grant Clark
The Toledo High School boys basketball team entered the new season in unfamiliar territory.
The Indians have been the rulers of the 2B Central League the past two seasons, winning back-to-back titles. Last year, behind a large and gifted senior class, Toledo found itself atop the 2B rankings for much of the season before claiming the fourth-place trophy at the state tournament.
It marked the program's best finish since the Indians claimed the 1A state championship in 2013.
Gone from last year's 24-win team is 11 seniors, including the league's most valuable player Fano Arceo-Hansen and all-league players Andreas Malunant and Westin Wallace.

"No one is going to feel sorry for us because we lost 11 players," said head coach Grady Fallon, who was last year's 2B Central Coach of the Year. "We talked about that as a team coming into this year. We know we're going to get everyone's best shot based on what we've done in the last two years. We're young, but the expectations are still very high with this program."
Top on that list is securing a third consecutive league championship.
The Indians will begin defense of their league crown on January 3 when they travel to Rainier.
Just two players, seniors Miguel Soto and Duke Schaplow return from last year's varsity squad. Both saw limited time as reserves during the 2018-2019 season. Much more will be asked out of them during their final year.
"We don't have a lot of (varsity) experience," said Fallon, whose roster features three freshmen. "So, it's very important to have that senior leadership. We're asking a lot out of Miguel and Duke."

Schaplow, who was a first-team all-league linebacker and played quarterback for the Indians football team and Soto are both 6-foot forwards who will do a lot of the heavy lifting for the team in the paint. They are joined by fellow senior Walker Sorensen, a 6-foot-3 center who made his return to the team this year after sitting out his junior season.
Toledo will also rely heavily on junior guards Carlo Arceo-Hansen and Ryan Bloomstrom, especially on the offensive end of the court.
"Carlo is a different style of player than his brother," said Fallon when asked to compare the 5'11" Carlo to his 6'3" older brother, Fano, who now plays at Centralia College after being an all-state guard last year, "but he's starting to figure things out."
This was more than evident during Toledo's holiday games at Saint Martin's University in Lacey.

Trailing by 16 to 2A Forks in the fourth quarter, Toledo rallied behind an offensive outburst by Acreo-Hansen as the junior drained a trio of 3-pointers late in the contest to put the Indians back within striking distance.
An offensive putback by Soto with 20 seconds remaining closed the deficit to 60-58, but Toledo was unable to find the equalizer.
It wasn't the outcome the team is used to over the last few seasons, but it certainly was the fight Fallon wanted to see out of his young players, providing an optimistic outlook for future games this year.
"It's what you want to see out of your team," Fallon said about the rally. "This is still new to a lot of them. The speed of the game is very different (in varsity games) from what they are used to."

Forks is one of several larger school classifications the Indians faced this season. They also played 2A Hoquiam at the holiday tournament in addition to 1A programs Castle Rock and Vashon Island.
"We've played some very good teams," Fallon said. "Hopefully playing a tough non-league schedule pays off once the league starts up. That was the goal when we schedule them."
Rounding out the list of juniors is 5'10" Freddy Fernandez, 6'2" Thomas Glass and 5'8" Jacob Marley.
Fallon is also very high on his three freshman – 5'4" point guard Jake Cournyer, 6'5" center Jaxon Cook and 5'10" forward Carson Gould.
Cournyer is the team's primary ball-handler and already started several games for the Indians.
"Jake scored 15 points in the first varsity quarter he ever played in and finished with 22 points," Fallon said. "Our freshmen live in the gym. It's a group that just loves playing basketball."
Toledo will play its home opener against Concrete on Saturday, January 5 at George Murdock Gymnasium. The Indians will have their league home opener on January 8 against Wahkiakum.
"It's going to take time," Fallon said. "I do think we have a lot of good tools to work with."
