Description:
The Bunnahabhain 2022 edition 12-year-old is back for the second year running, bottled at a higher ABV than its predecessor at 56.6%. A whisky predominantly matured in first and second fill Oloroso sherry casks with a small percentage of Bourbon barrels to balance out the flavours. The expression is only the 2nd release of a new cask strength, annual range inspired by visitor cask strength tastings in the distillery’s iconic Warehouse 9.
Matured on Islay, this is an undiluted celebration of the hugely popular 12-year-old expression. This 2022 edition has been praised around the world by both critics and whisky enthusiasts alike and at a very attainable price point, it’s one value for money whisky.
The Distillery comments;
“To create this special release, our Blending Team hand select casks based on type and profile. Mainly matured in first and second fill Oloroso sherry casks with a small percentage of Bourbon barrels to balance out the flavours, this whisky offers a ‘behind the scenes peek’ into our spirit before it goes to our Master Blender; Julieann Fernandez, to work her magic to create our iconic 12-year-old. Like all our whiskies, this is non-chill filtered and bottled with natural colour”.
