Elements of Islay Bn8 (Bunnahabhain)

A marriage of casks of peated spirit distilled between 2013 and 2015, and aged from five to seven years in a combination of American oak and ex-sherry hogsheads, our eighth bottling of Bunnahabhain boasts fruity, savoury and peppery notes with a hint of bitter chocolate. 1896 bottles produced.

Core Flavour:
Peppery, fruity, homemade confectionery

Cask details:
American oak and ex-sherry hogsheads

Tasting notes:
Nose: Dark orange chocolate, under-sugared peach jam and shredded lemon verbena. Rounded out by nutty, mature cheddar.

Palate: Smoked paprika and cumin spice marries with tart sweetness: apple drops and slightly burnt pear upside-down-cake. More pepperiness with crunchy ginger-nut biscuits and a drop of star anise oil.

Finish: Weathered leather, raw cacao nibs and the prickle of Pimento pepper, toned down with Danish butter cookies.
