A 36 year old Bunnahabhain aged initially in Oloroso Sherry casks before being finished in barrels that previous held Williams and Humbert Canastra Cream Sherry. The result is a big, Sherry-forward malt with notes of fig, dried plum, date syrup and toasted nuts. The palate is balanced with yet more sweet dried fruit with hints of dark chocolate and ground espresso before a mouth-coasting finish rounds things off - a superb release from Bunnahabhain.

The Lighter Side of Islay
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.
