Bunnahabhain Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a coppery sheen and a whisper of mahogany at the edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry aromas envelop dried fig, raisin and date, layered with almond, cocoa, vanilla and toffee. Polished oak and a touch of leather mingle with a whisper of sea-salt, evoking the Islay coast. A luxurious, concentrated bouquet that speaks of cask-strength depth and seventeen years of quiet refinement.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate reveals rich dried fruit—fig and raisin—laced with velvety toffee and dark chocolate. Sherry depth adds orange zest, almond praline, and gentle spice, mingling with a faint maritime breeze. Full-bodied, refined, and long, finishing with integrated oak, cocoa, and a coastal salt kiss.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish reveals dark dried fruits and fig with orange peel and a whisper of salted caramel. Maritime brine tempers sweetness, yielding cocoa, toasted almond, and spice that lingers gracefully on the palate.
