Our tasting notes
The perfect marriage of sherry and bourbon. The Nose brings beautiful notes of vanilla ice-cream, garnished with mixed berries, oven roasted pecans with a marzipan note and dried fruit tang. The Palate continues with the roasted nuts from the nosing adding some cinnamon and spice with lashings of caramel fudge, red cherries, espresso coffee with a sour/tart note similar to green toffee apples. The Finish is sublime, a wonderful example of cask to spirit synergy that will have you coming back for more, and more, and more………………….

Description:
The Bunnahabhain 2023 edition 12-year-old is back for the third year running, bottled at a palate bending 60.1% ABV, the strongest of its two predecessors. The whisky was 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 3rd release of a new cask strength, annual range inspired by visitor cask strength tastings in the distillery’s iconic Warehouse 9.
Matured on the remote, north-eastern coastline of Islay, and produced using natural spring water from the Margadale spring, this 12-Year-Old Cask Strength is an undiluted celebration of the distillery’s hugely popular Bunnahabhain 12-Year-Old.
The Distillery comments;
“When people embark on a journey to Islay and try Bunnahabhain whiskies straight from cask in the ever-popular Warehouse 9, it creates so much joy and excitement. However, we know that not everyone can make the trip to our remote distillery home to experience this for themselves. Therefore, this limited edition 12-Year-Old cask strength gives people from around the world the chance to experience it for themselves”
