2018 Cream Sherry Cask Matured

An exceptional expression chosen by the people behind Bunnahabhain, with just 504 bottles released.

About

Bringing together the knowledge, experience and instinct of the people behind the whisky, this distillery exclusive has been hand-selected by the Bunnahabhain team, led by Distillery Manager Andrew Brown. Chosen for its distinctive character and exceptional flavour, it represents a whisky that stood out from the rest, earning its place as a special release in its own right. With just 504 bottles available, it's a rare opportunity to discover a particularly distinctive expression of Bunnahabhain.
MATURATION JOURNEY

Distilled in 2018, this Bunnahabhain single malt spent eight years maturing in Cream Sherry casks. Cream Sherry is a naturally rich, sweet style of sherry, traditionally created by blending Oloroso with Pedro Ximénez, bringing notes of dried fruits, raisins and warming sweetness. Over time, these characteristics have been imparted to the spirit, adding layers of velvety richness and sweet spice, balanced by Bunnahabhain's gentle maritime character. Bottled in 2026 at 56.3% ABV, without added colour or chill filtration, this limited release captures the distinctive influence of its maturation.

Flavour Profile

Natural Colour

Antique mahogany, as nature intended. Without added colouring, every shade reflects the influence of time spent maturing in Cream Sherry casks.

Non-chill Filtered

Non-chill filtered to preserve the whisky's full depth of flavour, texture and character.

The Cream Sherry cask has brought a wonderful depth and richness to the spirit, while allowing its underlying Bunnahabhain character to shine through. It's something a little different, and one we felt deserved to be shared.

Our Difference

UNPEATED ISLAY

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

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

Bunnahabhain's pear-shaped 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 SPIRIT

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

Our whisky is known for being unpeated, natural colour and non-chillfiltered.
