Bunnahabhain Cooper's Choice - Single Cask #1269 Whisky 9 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Rich golden amber with warm, mahogany-tinted depths.

Nose

Sun-warmed orange zest and toasted almond lead into a rich core of dried fruits—fig, raisin, and prune—tinged with a velvety sherry sweetness. Vanilla, toffee and spice (clove, cinnamon) weave through, while sea-salt and a whisper of maritime brine keep it buoyant. A refined, creamy bouquet that hints at the depth to follow.

Palate

Silky and creamy on the tongue, this Bunnahabhain reveals honeyed orchard fruits and ripe apricot, folded with toasted hazelnut and a touch of sherry sweetness. Subtle coastal salt mirrors the sea breeze, while cacao and almond add nutty depth. Medium-bodied with a gentle oily texture and a warm, lingering finish.

Finish

Silky sherried sweetness lingers, weaving dark raisins and figs with toasted almond and cocoa. A marine whisper threads through the finish, subtle sea salt blending with vanilla and warming spice as the oak softens, leaving a long, refined echo on the palate.
