Another release in our maturation warehouse series, this 7 year old dram has been finishing in an Oloroso Hogshead at Bunnahabhain since June 2016 A really interesting dram evoking memories of a woody headland by the sea at dusk. You’ve got to try it to believe it!
Distilled on the 30th January, 2012, this whisky was first matured in a refill sherry butt, before being transferred to a first fill Oloroso sherry hogshead at the distillery on the 20th July 2016. It has continued to mature in this cask in our coastal warehouse 9 until bottled by the team to share with you.
Bunnahabhain has a stunning coastal location by the Sound of Islay to the north east of the island. In 1881 William Robertson founded Bunnahabhain along with the brothers William and James Greenless. The Islay Distillers Company Ltd was then merged with William Grant & Co in 1887 to form Highland Distilleries Company Limited. After one take over and another sale this popular distillery is now owned by Distell International Ltd. Bunnahabhain is the first distillery on Islay to boast a net zero production output. A new visitors centre has also been opened there. The core range consists of the 12, 18 and 25 year olds newly packaged as well as a 40 year old. Demand for their peated whisky has grown considerably in recent years so in 2017 the peated Striuireadair was released quickly follow by the Toiteach a Dha in 2018. There have also been numerous independent bottlings and in 2021 a cask strength 12 year old single malt was released.

Official Tasting Notes
NOSE - Ginger-nut biscuits, chocolate, chocolate orange, butter, worn leather, spicy ginger, wild garlic, coffee bean
PALATE - Oily, toffee popcorn, orange, gutyric acid – a bit 'Bruichladdich-y'! Baclava – pistachio, sweet and nutty. With a light taste on the tongue, this dram is not aggressive – warm water running over you, not a power shower, just soaking. Strawberry smoothie at the end
FINISH - Wood burning on a fire, but not smoky, leather, toast on an open fire. This dram seems to go from sweet to sharp to dry. The liquorice is still there
