- Description
- Bunnahabhain's unpeated Islay character, distilled October 2006 and aged 11 years in first-fill sherry butt, balances coastal brine with wine-driven richness at 60.1% ABV. The first-fill sherry cask imparts dried fruit, chocolate, and warming spice while the distillery's own waxy, oily character grounds the profile. At this strength and limited bottling from June 2018, it suits those seeking sherry-forward Islay expression.
