Single Cask Nation Bunnahabhain Staoisha 11 Year Old 2013 #171181 is a limited single-cask Islay whisky distilled in October 2013 and independently bottled by Single Cask Nation in autumn 2025. Produced using Bunnahabhain's heavily peated Staoisha spirit, this expression was matured in a refill bourbon hogshead, allowing its distinctive coastal and smoky character to remain at the forefront. Bottled at 57.1% ABV, with only 221 bottles produced, it delivers an expressive combination of earthy peat smoke, bright citrus, creamy vanilla, sweet malt, and maritime salinity.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, grilled oysters, barbecue pork ribs, aged cheddar, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Indicative notes of coastal peat smoke, citrus, vanilla, sweet malt, toasted oak, and maritime salinity.

Nose: Indicative aromas of earthy peat smoke, lemon zest, sea breeze, vanilla, and lightly toasted malt.

Palate: Indicative flavours of smoky malt, creamy vanilla, citrus peel, honey, and gentle oak spice, accompanied by coastal salinity and warming pepper.

Finish: Indicatively long and smoky, with lingering peat, citrus, toasted oak, and a pleasantly dry maritime character.

Serve: Enjoy neat to appreciate its cask-strength intensity, or add a few drops of water to reveal additional citrus sweetness and soften the smoke.
