WHISKY CHARACTERISTICS

ABOUT

Canasta is a distinctive sweet sherry crafted in Spain, expertly blending Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries for a rich, multifaceted profile. With the nutty, dry notes of Oloroso balanced by Pedro Ximénez’s lush, raisin-like sweetness, Canasta sherry casks bring something truly unique to whisky maturation. These casks infuse the spirit with a luxurious depth, typically imparting flavours of maple syrup, caramel, dried figs, dark fruits, and chocolate, layered with gentle spices. Whiskies aged in Canasta casks are known for their warm, smooth richness—making each sip a decadent experience.

MATURATION JOURNEY

Distilled on the 1st of December 2014, this single malt spent 9 long years maturing in cask number 2786, adding a rich depth to its bold, festive character. As a sister cask to last year’s acclaimed 2014 Canasta release, this expression reveals its own distinctive twist, favouring a lush maple sweetness over the previous cask’s fruity profile.

WHERE UNIQUE MEETS EXCEPTIONAL

UNPEATED ISLAY

UNPEATED ISLAY

Unlike the other distilleries on Islay, Bunnahabhain is known for its signature unpeated Single Malt Whisky.

A ROAD LESS TRAVELLED

A ROAD LESS TRAVELLED

Situated on the Sound of Islay, Bunnahabhain is the most northerly distillery, only accessible by boat until 1960. Now by single track road, it is an adventure for whisky enthusiasts.

TALLEST ON ISLAY

TALLEST ON ISLAY

Bunnahabhain's pot stills are the tallest on Islay. Their unusually long swan necks promote a lighter delicate spirit character as heavier flavour compounds can't reach the summit.

UNCOMPROMISING CHARACTER

UNCOMPROMISING CHARACTER

Non-chill filtered and with no added colour, Bunnahabhain is a robust, oily spirit that stands up to full maturation in sherry and bottlings at cask strength.
