Bunnahabhain Wemyss Malts - Heather & Leather Single Cask Whisky 31 Year Old · 1987 Vintage
In stock
Distilled in 1987 and bottled in 2018, this 31-year-old Bunnahabhain was released by Wemyss Malts as part of their single cask series. Matured in a sherry cask for over three decades, the cask yielded 551 bottles, bottled at 41.7% ABV. As with other Wemyss releases, the name “Heather & Leather” reflects the flavour profile discovered within the cask.
Bunnahabhain Distillery, founded in 1881 on the remote north coast of Islay, is known for producing a predominantly unpeated Islay style, quite different from the island’s heavily smoky whiskies. Its spirit often shows a rich, coastal character with notes of dried fruit, nuts and gentle maritime influence, which develops beautifully with extended maturation in sherry casks.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Aged Bronze.
Nose
The nose conjures a highland wilderness with heather, gorse flowers and crisp autumn leaves. Old fashioned leather walking boots and wax jackets evoke a hike in the Scottish Highlands.
Palate
The beginning flavour is a deep sweetness like honey and demerara flapjacks. Savoury flavours appear as meaty and almost leathery whilst herbal notes of caraway and dried rosemary appear.
Finish
The finish has a gentle smoke like flavour derived from the wood tannins.
