Bunnahabhain Distillery, founded in 1881 on the remote northeastern shore of Islay overlooking the Sound of Islay, stands apart from its island neighbors for crafting predominantly unpeated, maritime single malt Scotch whisky. Celebrated for its rich, nutty, and coastal house style, Bunnahabhain's spirit displays exceptional affinity for sherry cask maturation, developing deep layers of dried fruit, salted caramel, and warm spice.
Distilled in December 2008 and bottled in January 2024 by independent bottler Duncan Taylor, this 15-year-old release was matured in Single Sherry Cask #38551197 and yielded 618 bottles at natural cask strength of 54.4% ABV. Bottled without chill filtration and at natural colour, it showcases concentrated sherry-driven fruit richness balanced by Bunnahabhain's signature coastal salinity.
