Bunnahabhain Wemyss Malts - Salted Liquorice Drops Single Cask Whisky 30 Year Old · 1988 Vintage
In stock
A single cask Bunnahabhain bottled by Wemyss Malts, this 30 year old was distilled in 1988 and bottled in 2019 at 46% ABV. Matured in oak and limited to 216 bottles, it was released under the Wemyss flavour-led name “Salted Liquorice Drops.”
From the distillery’s typically unpeated, coastal style and long ageing, you can expect a refined maritime character with gentle salinity, soft sweetness and developed oak influence. The flavour title suggests a savoury-sweet profile, likely leaning toward liquorice, dark sugar and subtle coastal notes, presented in a balanced, long-matured single cask format.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a touch of mahogany at the edges.
Nose
A refined maritime aroma of sea-salt and brine tempered by soft sweetness. Vanilla, toffee and toasted oak mingle with dark liquorice and brown sugar, while subtle coastal iodine and salted caramel drift through. A clean, elegant nose that hints at age and balance.
Palate
Silky, maritime palate with a gentle coastal salinity that lingers. Rich notes of liquorice and dark sugar unfold into a soft, caramelised sweetness, guided by refined oak. Subtle brine and toasted barley weave through the mid-palate, delivering a balanced, long salted finish.
Finish
Long, maritime finish with a gentle salt breeze and lingering liquorice sweetness, softened by oak spice and subtle brine. Coastal notes meld with dark caramel and cedar, leaving a refined, savoury echo that slowly fades on the palate.
