Bunnahabhain Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Golden honey with warm amber depth and coppery highlights.

Nose

Ripe dried fruit—figs and raisins—lie with toffee, orange zest and almond, shaded by dark chocolate. Subtle sherry sweetness threads a waxy, coastal breeze—sea air and salted caramel—while vanilla, walnut spice and a whisper of oak lend refined elegance to a maritime, lingering nose.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied palate with gentle sherry sweetness and a maritime edge. Dried fruits—raisin, fig, date—unfold with creamy vanilla, toffee and almond, accented by orange zest. A subtle saltiness lingers from the coast, followed by cocoa, spice and a touch of oak. The finish is long, refined, and softly nutty, with an elegant, warming glow.

Finish

Long, refined finish with coastal salt and subtle sweetness that lingers. A muted wave of dried fruit, toasted almond and gentle oak unfolds slowly, leaving a warm, lasting impression and a delicate hint of sherry spice.
