Distilled at Bunnahabhain on 30th April 2025 and filled into a First Fill Oloroso Butt, this cask presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of exceptionally characterful Islay spirit at the very beginning of its maturation journey. Filled with approximately 500 bulk litres of new make spirit at a remarkable natural cask strength of 69.7% ABV, this cask promises a long and fascinating maturation ahead.

Bunnahabhain is renowned for producing one of Islay`s most distinctive and elegant single malts, celebrated for its rich, oily texture and naturally fruity, nutty character. Maturation in a First Fill Oloroso Butt is particularly well suited to the distillery`s robust spirit style, gradually imparting layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, walnut, sweet spice and polished oak while complementing the distillate`s naturally maritime and malty character. Over time, the generous size of the butt will encourage a slow, measured interaction between spirit and oak, allowing complexity and depth to develop without overwhelming the distillery`s signature style.

This offer includes three years of storage and insurance at Braeside Bond.

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.
