Bunnahabhain Bartels Single Cask #15034 Whisky 10 Year Old · 2005 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper reflections and a rich, sherried mahogany glow.

Nose

Sherry-cask richness with coastal finesse: dried fig and raisin entwine with cherry, orange zest and almond, while cocoa and vanilla lend warmth. A whisper of sea spray and a light malt sweetness elevate the aroma, giving elegance and depth without heaviness.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate delivers a rich sherry-tinged sweetness—dried fig, raisin and date—woven with Bunnahabhain’s subtle coastal tang. Velvet toffee and almond unfold with cocoa, cinnamon and a touch of maritime salt, all carried by a polished oak spine. Long, warming finish with lingering fruit, spice and a whisper of smoke.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with velvet sweetness and a whisper of sea air. Dried fruits—raisin and orange zest—meet dark chocolate, almond and roasted oak, while nutmeg and spice linger. Sherry depth coats the palate, slowly fading to warm oak and a final, comforting ember of sweetness.
