Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep coppery amber with mahogany-bronze undertones and a warm, sherry-kissed glow.
Nose
A rich, inviting nose of sherry fruit: dark raisin, fig and prune mingle with orange zest, cocoa and toasted almond. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—emerge against a backdrop of coastal Islay notes, a light brine and sea-kissed air, with warm vanilla oak and a hint of caramel from the cask.
Palate
Sherry-soaked, richly fruity palate with dried figs, raisins and dates mingling with caramel, cocoa and orange zest. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—weave through a buoyant coastal sweetness and a gentle saline edge. Full-bodied and warm at 54.6%, the finish lingers with elegance, maritime glow, and a refined, unpeated Bunnahabhain character.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish of dark figs and raisins, with baking spices and a touch of cocoa over a gentle maritime core. Sherry warmth lingers in polished oak, while a whisper of coastal salt steadies the sweetness, leaving a velvety, warming descent that mirrors Bunnahabhain’s unpeated Islay character enhanced by the single-cask sherry maturation.
