Bunnahabhain Heavily Peated Single Cask #3814010798 Whisky 7 Year Old · 2014 Vintage

Colour

Rich golden amber with sunlit copper highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Bold peat smoke rises over a briny sea breeze, with iodine, sea salt and ash grounding the aroma. Malty sweetness threads through vanilla and toffee, while peppery spice adds lift. Subtle dark-fruit and cocoa notes from the sherry cask enrich the profile, with a smoky coastal backbone and a touch of oak. A concentrated Islay aroma that promises power and warmth.

Palate

Heavy peat drives a coastal, medicinal core - iodine, sea salt and charred wood mingle with smoky sweetness. Layers of espresso, treacle and dark chocolate add depth, while pepper and spice lend warmth. The mouthfeel is full, oily and richly textured, delivering a long, resinous finish that echoes ash, brine and subtle fruit.

Finish

Long, peat-smoked and maritime, with iodine and sea-salt carried by a warm, oaken fade. Echoes of dark cocoa and spice linger, tapering to a softly charred finish that invites another sip.
