Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany hues and a glossy copper-gold glow, sherry-kissed in depth.

Nose

Opulent Oloroso sherry envelopes the nose with dark chocolate, fig and dried fruit, tempered by toasted oak and a whisper of leather. Cinnamon and clove warmth rise, complemented by a subtle honeyed fruit note and a bright hint of orange zest.

Palate

Dark chocolate and fig ride a core of ripe oak, as shimmering spice unfurls across the palate. Soft leather folds in with a subtle banana note and honey sweetness, building towards a broad, full-bodied profile. The cask-strength warmth tightens with poise, delivering a powerful, yet balanced finish.

Finish

Long, velvety and warming, this finish echoes dark chocolate and fig as oak and spice persist. Soft leather notes deepen the aftertaste, while a delicate banana and honey sweetness lingers, leaving a refined, warming echo.

Bunnahabhain
(BUNNA-hah-ven) Built in 1881, Bunnahabhain is situated on the north east coast of Islay, overlooking the Sound of Islay near Caol Ila. Bunnahabhain's initial aim was to produce Whisky for blending only. While it was used across the industry, it performed a central role in three famous blends: Famous Grouse, Cutty Sark and Black Bottle. Following a short period of closure in the early 1980s, Bunnahabhain re-emerged as a Single Malt.
