Bunnahabhain Blackadder Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 18 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Bright golden amber with warm honeyed depth and a pale copper glint.

Nose

Rich, sherried aroma with dark fruit and nutty sweetness: dried fig, plum, raisin, date, and a hint of orange zest. Espresso and dark chocolate mingle with almond biscuit, toffee, and warm spice. Maritime notes—sea spray and a whisper of salt—linger in the background, carried by polished, charred oak.

Palate

On the palate, a full, luxurious fusion of sherried fruit and maritime quiet. Ripe figs, prunes and dark cherries melt into almond, toffee and vanilla, all wrapped in a velvety, oil-rich texture. Spices—cinnamon, clove, white pepper—lend warming bite at this high ABV, while citrus zest adds lift. Long, refined finish with cocoa, dried fruit and a saline, sea-spray nuance.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with maritime salt and warm spice, unfolding into dried fruit, almond and toffee, a sherry-kissed depth that lingers with cocoa and oak, leaving a refined, enduring warmth.
