Bunnahabhain Moine Bordeaux Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old · 2008 Vintage
Out of stock
A limited Edition Bunnahabhain aged in Bordeaux Red Wine casks.
The original non-peated Islay malt, Bunnahabhain has become well known for its Mòine, (meaning ‘peated’ in Scots Gaelic) variants in recent years.
For the first time in the distillery's history, the peated spirit has been fully matured in premium red wine casks from Bordeaux in France.
These casks have been maturing, protected from the elements in our coastal warehouses, for just under ten years, before being bottled in early 2018.
The result is a unique and stunning array of rich grape, toffee and peppery smoke notes, with a long and warming fruity finish. Sit back and savour.
Non-chillfiltered and Natural colour.
