Description
To mark the grand occasion of Feis Ile 2023, Bunnahabhain have released this exceptional example of their classic unpeated sherried style. Initially laid down in American oak casks in 1998, the expression was then finished in first-fill Manzanilla sherry casks for a further seven years. Manzanilla sherry is famed for its coastal, nutty characteristics, which pair beautifully with Bunnahabhain’s shared flavour. The result is a warmly welcoming dram, with notes of salt & spice, fitting for the best of celebrations.
Expect aromas reminiscent of almond croissants leading to rose petal, grapefruit and mixed spice notes, with a touch of woody incense. On the palate we find waves of Bunnahabhain’s signature coastal flavours of sea air and seaweed, alongside notes of dried fruit, creamy fudge, red apple and star anise. An aromatic close finishes this spectacular dram, with a lasting touch of sea salt.
