Bunnahabhain Islay Single Malt Whisky Miniature 17 Year Old · 1984 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a sunlit honey glow and a whisper of coppery edge.

Nose

Elegant and maritime, this nose opens with gentle brine wrapped in sherried warmth. Dried fig and orange zest fuse with almond, vanilla, and toffee, while raisin, cocoa, and a hint of spice deepen the complexity. Subtle yet luxurious, it evokes coastal maturity and quiet richness.

Palate

Silky on the palate, honeyed orchard fruit harmonizes with citrus zest, then unfolds into fig, raisin and cocoa from the sherry influence. Nutty almond and vanilla weave through a whisper of sea salt. Balanced, elegant sweetness lingers, finishing with toasted spice and a refined maritime brightness.

Finish

Long, refined finish with sherry-cask depth: dark fruits—fig and raisin—linger, brightened by orange zest and cocoa, with vanilla-softened oak. A delicate coastal breeze of sea-salt remains, slowly fading into a polished, velvety end.
