Bunnahabhain Canasta Cask, Feis Ile 2023

Fully matured in rare Canasta sherry casks, its resting place was once home to skilfully blended sherries made from Palomino and Pedro Ximenez grapes.

Canasta Casks are very classical in style, with the balance of Oloroso sherry imparting flavours of spice, and the Pedro Ximenez adding layers of complexity, richness & sweetness. The result is a distinctively special dram, fitting for the best of celebrations.

Tasting notes:
Colour: Polished Mahogany

Nose: Classic sherried nose; sweet and caramelised fruits, honey roasted nuts, waves of cinnamon and clove with a hint of rancio

Palate: Maple syrup leads with creamy vanilla, dried figs, poached pears and a sprinkle of cocoa. A gentle twist of orange appears in the background

Finish: Long and sweet with notes of brown sugar, red apples and vanilla custard
