Bunnahabhain Bartels Single Cask #15031 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with sun-bright copper highlights and a dusky mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose of dried cherry, fig and raisin, layered with orange zest, cocoa and toasted almond. Vanilla caramel threads through cedar and a touch of leather, adding warmth and depth. A whisper of sea air and salted butter provides a clean, maritime lift to the lush fruit and nutty core.

Palate

Opulent and velvety, this single cask delivers sherried richness with prune, raisin and fig complemented by honeyed toffee, almond and a hint of orange zest. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate, notes of dark chocolate, baking spice and a whisper of sea air emerge, finishing long with nutty oak and a suave, lingering warmth.

Finish

Long, luxurious, the finish layers dried fig and cocoa with a kiss of sherry sweetness, drifting into orange zest and toasted almond, before a saline coastal whisper and warm oak spice linger gracefully.
