Bunnahabhain Cooper's Choice - Smoking Sherry Beast Single Sherry Cask #1153 Whisky

Colour

Deep amber-bronze with mahogany depth and coppery highlights, a warm, sherry-kissed gold that glows with mature richness.

Nose

Peat smoke entwined with rich sherry, opening with fig and raisin, dark chocolate and burnt sugar. Orange zest, vanilla and toffee drift in, while a touch of salted caramel and maritime brine adds lift, culminating in a softly smoky, indulgent bouquet.

Palate

Velvety, full-bodied and oily, it coats the palate with bold sherry depth. Dark fruit compote—prune, fig, date—sits beside cocoa, toffee and burnt sugar. A measured maritime smoke threads through, with sea-salt and citrus zest lifting the richness. The finish is long and warming, echoing espresso and cacao as the smoke linger.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with smoky sweetness and sherried depth. Embered smoke brushes the palate, yielding fig and raisin, molten chocolate and bright orange zest, with a whisper of sea salt. The mouthfeel is creamy and full, leaving warm spice that lingers, fading to toasted almond and cocoa nib in a refined, persistent finale.
