Bunnahabhain Signatory Vintage 35th Anniversary Single Cask #7638 Whisky 44 Year Old · 1978 Vintage
In stock
This single cask Scotch whisky was distilled at Bunnahabhain Distillery, on Islay, on the 18th of December 1978. The new spirit was filled into a 2nd fill Oloroso Sherry Butt, cask number 7638, where it remained until bottling in 2023.
A lovely dark gold colour, the 44 years in cask have created a beautifully rich liquid with ripe banana, warm caramel and roasted walnuts. The mouthfeel is luscious and expansive with a long, satisfying finish. The colour of the whisky reflects only the natural impact from the cask during maturation.
This whisky was disgorged under the supervision of Andrew Symington the distillery manager on the 5th of October 2023.
