Bunnahabhain Small Batch Distilled 18-Year-Old

Bottler: Distillery Bottling

Region: Scotland/ Islay

Age: 18 year old

Cask Type: Sherry

Chill Filtered: No

Tasting Note:

Nose: Salted caramel leading to sticky toffee pudding sprinkled with nutmeg. With time a leathery quality emerges.

Palate: Dense, rich sherried notes perked up with a coastal saltiness. On a second wave roast chestnuts emerge and gentle wood spice.

Finish: Woodspice becomes mixed spice. The finish is warming and lengthy; salt and sherry towards the very end.

Overall: Bunnahabhain without chill-filtration is dense and oily and shows off its sherried credentials with ease.
