  • About

    This 21 Year Old limited edition is where Jerez meets Islay. It is a rare marriage of two time-honoured crafts: the sherry heritage of Jerez and the robust strength of Islay's most remote distillery. A long 21 month finish in hand-selected Pedro Ximénez casks honours the richness of Spain's sherry-making legacy while allowing Bunnahabhain's coastal character to shine through. It's a whisky shaped by patience, craft and place. From the chalky soils of Jerez to the salt-laden air of Bunnahabhain Bay, this is more than maturation. It is a dialogue between Spain and Scotland, sweetness and salt, power and poise.

  • MATURATION JOURNEY

    First laid to rest in ex-Oloroso sherry casks, our robust, oily spirit developed depth, structure, and coastal character. But its journey didn't end there. For 21 months, the whisky was finished in 21 hand-selected Pedro Ximénez casks. A bold choice that brings indulgent layers of sweetness and spice. PX's rich, syrupy character weaves seamlessly through the spirit rather than overpowering it. The result is a whisky that balances the luscious influence of sherry with the unmistakable soul of Islay. Rare, refined and bottled at 53.1% cask strength ABV.

My order arrived in perfect

"My order arrived in perfect condition. The delivery took a tiny bit longer than planned, but that wasn't a problem at all. I would definitely order here again next time. Slàinte."

— Arjan S. (4/5)

just don't see why a whisky with a 20+ year matur

"I just don't see why a whisky with a 20+ year maturation in a certain type of wood needs another "active" wood maturation - because let's face it, for a sudden period of finish, the only thing that will actually have an effect is fresh, wet casks - to be a product ready for bottling. I guess cask condition is also a factor here. A secondary maturation in a refill PX barrel could be subtle enough not to overpower the distillery character/initial cask influence. I'm not averse to a heavy cask finish by any means. I love the 2022 CS 12yo, and that's a wet cask sherry monster. I'd definitely be looking for something a little more nuanced/refined in a 21yo though."

Nothing but Amazing

"The Bunnahabhain 21 Year Old is nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first pour, it commands attention with its deep amber hue and elegant viscosity in the glass. On the nose, it opens beautifully with layers of dried fruit, dark toffee, roasted nuts, and polished oak. There’s a gentle coastal influence — a whisper of sea breeze — but no overpowering smoke, allowing the richness and maturity to shine through. The palate is where this whisky truly excels. Silky and full-bodied, it delivers waves of sherried sweetness, figs, caramelised sugar, and baking spices, balanced by subtle notes of leather and dark chocolate. The oak influence is refined and perfectly integrated, showcasing the grace that only 21 years of patient maturation can achieve. The finish is long, warming, and deeply satisfying, with lingering hints of spice, oak, and a touch of salted caramel. This is a masterfully crafted dram — complex yet approachable, powerful yet elegant. A true celebration of time, craftsmanship, and tradition. Nothing but amazing."

— Jatin P. (5/5)

Top bunna

"Nose: Sweet sherry, raisins, and plums Taste: PX sherry, dark chocolate, intense, round flavor Finish: Warm, the flavor and intensity diminish a bit too quickly In summary: Typical, delicious bunna 21y 2025 caskstrenght. Pricy. I haven’t tasted yet the 12y 2025 caskstrenght (which i got as a birthday present) and can’t compare the price/quality at this moment."
