Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old

Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old is an exceptional, multi-award-winning Islay single malt Scotch whisky that beautifully showcases the distillery's signature unpeated coastal style. Matured for a full eighteen years exclusively in choice, hand-selected ex-Oloroso Sherry oak casks, this expression is bottled at its natural color without chill-filtration. The extended maritime aging process allows the spirit to interact deeply with the Spanish oak, tempering the classic coastal brine of its ocean-facing warehouse with an opulent, rich dried-fruit complexity. The result is an incredibly elegant, deeply satisfying dram that stands as a gold standard for Sherry-matured maritime whiskies.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted duck breast with a cherry reduction, prime rib eye steak, dark chocolate pecan pies, or a mature, salty blue cheese like Stilton.

Tasting Notes : Brilliant amber hue, offering a full-bodied, smooth, and beautifully creamy mouthfeel with warming weight.

Nose : Sweet milk chocolate, dark raisins, toffee, and warm baking spices.

Palate : Smooth and rich with stewed berries, crisp red apples, spicy black pepper, and subtle herbal complexity.

Finish : Medium-bodied and warm, transitioning from sweet fruit to lingering spice and ripe Morello cherry.

Serve : Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass, or with a few drops of water to soften the spice and open up the fruit and chocolate layers.
