- Description
- Bunnahabhain's 14-year-old from 2003 brings Islay's coastal character to life, initially aged in second-fill Sherry casks before a finishing period in first-fill Pedro Ximénez casks. The combination delivers rich dried fruit complexity—raisins, dates, and figs—layered beneath Islay's signature smoke and maritime salt. Bottled at cask strength in 2017, the texture is full and warming, with a long, spiced finish balancing sweetness and smoke. A sophisticated choice for those who enjoy Islay's peaty character softened by Sherry cask influence.
