Bunnahabhain Old Particular Single Cask #16490 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2007 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warming mahogany edge.

Nose

Rich sherry-derived aromas of fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with toffee, vanilla and toasted almond. A creamy, waxy malt backbone supports delicate sea-brine and iodic hints, while a subtle oakiness and warm, lamplit spice linger on the finish.

Palate

Silky, mouth-coating and refined, this Bunnahabhain unfolds honeyed malt with orchard fruit and dried apricot, lifted by almond notes. Rich oak from the hogshead brings toasted spice and a touch of cocoa, while a soft maritime breeze lends a delicate salinity. The finish is long and warm, fading through caramel, vanilla and a whisper of spice.

Finish

Long, polished finish with maritime notes lingering beside rich, sherried fruit. Dried cherries and figs unfold into cocoa, almond and a kiss of oak, while a faint sea salt carries through, leaving a warm, sweet-spiced glow.
