Bunnahabhain Cooper's Choice - Single Sherry Cask #1428 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depths and a coppery glow, enriched by sherry-cask warmth.

Nose

A coastal, sherry-kissed aroma opens with rich dried fruits—figs, raisins, and plums—interwoven with candied orange and a nutty backbone of almond and hazelnut. Subtle spice from cinnamon and clove, a hint of cocoa and toffee, and a whisper of sea air lend maritime brightness. The fragrance is warm, weighty, and inviting, revealing a malt-driven depth balanced by sherry sweetness.

Palate

Silky and slightly waxy, this palate opens with rich dried fruit—dates and raisins—softened by gentle spice and toasted almond. Sherry depth lends nutty, velvety richness that coats the tongue, while Bunnahabhain’s coastal malt adds a whisper of sea-salt. At 46% ABV, it carries warmth into a long finish—fruit, cocoa, and a delicate oak shimmer.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish reveals lingering dried fruit, fig and raisin, shaded by gentle spice and nutty depth. Sherry sweetness fades into a coastal, malt-driven afterglow, with a final touch of walnut and sea-breeze.
