Bunnahabhain Peated - The Octave Single Oloroso Sherry Cask #3843356 Whisky 9 Year Old · 2014 Vintage
In stock
A peated Bunnahabhain single malt from The Octave series, this 9 year old was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2024 after maturation in an Oloroso sherry octave cask. Bottled at 50.7% ABV, the release was extremely limited to just 25 bottles.
Octave casks, much smaller than traditional sherry casks, intensify wood interaction and concentrate flavour. The Oloroso maturation brings rich dried fruit, spice and nutty depth, complementing Bunnahabhain’s peated style where coastal smoke and maritime character are balanced by layered sherry richness.
Tasting Notes: Bonfire smoke, smoked ham, ripe peaches, sherry & a hint of citrus.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany depth.
Nose
Bonfire smoke and coastal peat frame a savory, smoky ham aroma, brightened by ripe peaches and saturated with sherry richness. A gentle citrus zing threads through, completing a lively, refined nose.
Palate
Coastal peat opens with bonfire smoke and smoked ham, layered over rich dried fruit and almond-nut depth from the Oloroso sherry. Ripe peaches mingle with citrus zest as spice winds through, finishing with a warm, saline, oak-kissed complexity.
Finish
Long, coastal smoke lingers into a nutty, dried-sherry finish, threaded with warming spice and a bright citrus lift that keeps the palate beckoning.
