Bunnahabhain Feis Ile 2011 - Cognac Cask Finish Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a coppery glow and warm honey-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent nose of ripe orchard fruits—peach, apricot and pear—lifted by honeyed vanilla and almond. Cognac-cask influences bring toffee, dried fig and a whisper of spice, while a subtle coastal breeze and polished oak frame the aroma with elegant warmth.

Palate

Silky and luxurious on the palate, this Cognac-finished Bunnahabhain delivers orchard fruit—peach and apricot—softly layered with vanilla, cream and toffee. Subtle almond and marzipan mingle with a coastal breeze of sea-salt. The 59.6% ABV lends warmth and gentle spice, guiding a long, elegant finish of fruit, nuttiness and caramel.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of apricot, fig and honeyed raisin, braided with vanilla and warm spice. The cognac cask lends polished oak, a touch of grape sweetness, and a hint of cocoa, finishing with a mouth-coating warmth and a whisper of coastal smoke.
