Bunnahabhain (Staoisha) 200-litre First Fill Bourbon Barrel 2025
This cask of Bunnahabhain was filled on 9th January 2025 with new make spirit at 63.5% ABV. Matured in a first-fill bourbon cask, it promises to combine the intense smoky and maritime qualities of Islay peat with the sweet, creamy, and vanilla-rich influence of fresh bourbon oak. The high phenol content in the spirit sets the stage for a bold flavour profile, with layers of peat smoke balanced by oak-driven notes as the whisky matures. At the time of filling, the cask was estimated to yield approximately 250 bottles.
Included in the price is three years professional storage and insurance at Braeside Bond.
Bunnahabhain
Often known as the "gateway malt" for those looking to explore the smoky malts of Islay, Bunnahabhain is more lightly peated than most other whiskies produced on the island. Situated on the north-eastern coast, the distillery name means "mouth of the river" in Gaelic.
Historically noted for a waxy, oily mouthfeel, low peat levels and a hint of sea spray, Bunnahabhain have since experimented with more heavily peated drams, in-keeping with the style of their island neighbours. The youngest age statement in the core range is 12 years old while limited edition cask finishes have won the distillery awards globally.
