History,
Bunnahabhain is famous for releasing unpeated whiskies despite being on the island of Islay. This allows it to showcase many of the islands coastal notes without tying those elements to heavy smoke notes. Here is a unique single cask Bunnahabhain that spent its whole 13 year life in a 1st Fill Sherry Butt, gradually absorbing those sweet, fruity sherried notes and intermingling them with a salty, malty, almost chocolatey base.
Tasting Notes,
The nose offers earthy aromas of toasted nuts and rich caramel, alongside creamy butter, warming spices, and malty undertones. This is complemented by bright cherry, zesty harissa, fragrant allspice, creamy milk, ripe raspberry, and a touch of subtle woodiness. On the palate, savor warm bread and velvety fudge, infused with aromatic spices and roasted nuts. The experience unfolds with a delightful interplay of sweetness and spice, featuring vibrant raspberry, luscious strawberry, and a medley of red berries, all enhanced by a minerally essence. The finish is medium in length, delivering a comforting warmth with hints of fruitiness and delicate nuttiness, layered with black cherry soda, smooth cream, savory broth, rich dark chocolate, and a whisper of saltiness.
