- Description
- Bunnahabhain's unpeated Islay character shines in this 2001 distillate aged 23 years in an oloroso sherry butt, bottled at cask strength by Signatory. The extended maturation in sherry wood builds rich, complex layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and maritime salt, with the distillery's characteristic waxy texture providing excellent mouthfeel. A long, warming finish balances the sweetness of the wood with subtle smoke and brine. Ideal for those seeking serious sherry influence without the typical Islay peat.
