Details
At Bunnahabhain theyhave become renowned for our unpeated, classically sherried single malts, and this limited release is just that, and more. An experimental combination of some of the best sherry cask finishes from Bunnahabhain - Amontillado, Manzanilla and Oloroso – results in a complex and robust whisky.
Distilled in 1999, the spirit was then transferred into a trio of sherry casks: Amontillado casks on the 4th of November 2009, Oloroso casks on the 20th of June 2011 and Manzanilla casks on the 12th of September 2016. Skilfully married by their Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez, and bottled at a cask strength of 53.3% ABV, the flavours reveal themselves in a journey of discovery with each sip. The result is an exceptional burst of sherry with notes of creamy fudge, vanilla pods and a hint of tobacco.
