- Description
- Bunnahabhain's 2012 distillate was aged nine years in sherry butts before Càrn Mòr released 1,016 bottles for their Strictly Limited range, bringing the Islay distillery's unpeated character into a sherried context. Sherry maturation adds layers of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice to Bunnahabhain's characteristic coastal salinity and maritime notes. The interplay between sea spray and wine-soaked fruit creates surprising complexity. A distinctive take on the distillery's non-peated style, appealing to those seeking Islay without smoke.
