Warehouse 9

Bourbon and Amontillado

A vibrant Warehouse 9 single cask marrying youthful energy with the mellow depth of Amontillado for a bold, balanced coastal dram.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE

Dates, walnuts and rich caramel notes are balanced by earthy tobacco.

PALATE

Spicy, classic sherry notes of roasted nuts intertwine with an oak warmth and vanilla sweetness.

FINISH

A dry yet sweet finish balanced with juicy raisins and sultanas.

Bright, youthful and boldly expressive, this single cask release shows how finishing casks can elevate the clarify of our unpeated spirit. Bottled at cask strength and hand-filled from Cask No. 273, it offers a vibrant snapshot of a whisky still in its early evolution yet already layered with Amontillado richness.

Distilled on the 3rd of July 2019, this whisky began its journey in 2nd fill ex-bourbon casks, gaining notes of vanilla, citrus and soft barely sweetness. On the 18th of July 2023, it was moved into an Amontillado finishing cask, adding depth, nuttiness and a delicate dryness that balances its youthful energy. This combination of bright bourbon maturation with the structure of Amontillado creates a lively yet complex profile, drawn straight from the cask in Warehouse 9 and bottled exactly as it was matured.

WHERE UNIQUE MEETS EXCEPTIONAL

UNPEATED ISLAY

Unlike the other distilleries on Islay, Bunnahabhain is known for its signature unpeated 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 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

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.
