This distinctive Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old is presented in tribute to the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, the regular component of the British Army’s renowned Special Air Service.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with a luminous copper glow and a whisper of mahogany at the edge.
Nose
Coastal salt and sea breeze lift the glass, yielding a generous sherry glow. Dried fig and prune mingle with toasted almond, vanilla and a kiss of dark chocolate. Orange zest, cinnamon and ginger whisper through the bouquet, while a refined oak spine adds elegance and warmth.
Palate
Silky, medium-full on the palate with a luxurious sherried profile: dark cherries, fig and raisin mingle with almond paste and cocoa; cinnamon and clove spice, a whisper of coastal salt, and polished oak; a long, warm finish.
Finish
Long, elegant finish of sherry-kissed dark fruit—prune and raisin—edge with cocoa and toffee. Waves of warm spice, toasted oak and almond unfold slowly, with a delicate coastal saltiness lingering as sweetness fades.
