Bunnahabhain Limited Edition Sherry Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 35 Year Old · 1966 Vintage
Out of stock
A rare long-aged release from Bunnahabhain, this 35 year old was distilled in 1966 and bottled as a Limited Edition Sherry Cask expression at 46.1% ABV with only 401 bottles produced. Matured in sherry wood, it reflects the distillery’s more elegant, lightly peated or unpeated style rather than heavy Islay smoke.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a mahogany-tinged glow.
Nose
Sherry-soaked richness unfolds, with dark raisins, figs, and plum mingling with orange zest, toffee, and almond. Subtle spice of cinnamon and clove, a ribbon of oak, and a whisper of salty sea air frame a refined, lightly peated elegance rather than heavy Islay smoke.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, this 35-year-old sherry-cask bottling unfurls with rich dried fruit—fig, date and raisin—complemented by toffee, walnut and silky oak. Sherry sweetness strides alongside orange zest, dark chocolate and spices, with a whisper of coastal brine. A refined, lightly peated edge lingers into a long, warm finish of fruit, cocoa and nutmeg.
Finish
Long and refined, this finish unfolds with sherry sweetness—raisins, fig and cocoa—complemented by orange zest and toasted almond. A whisper of Islay smoke rises briefly, then fades as spice (cinnamon, clove) and soft oak linger, leaving a velvety, elegant afterglow.
