Fèis Ìle 2023: 1998 Manzanilla Vat Afwerking

A rare and memorable release that captures the essence of Bunnahabhain: coastal character, considered craftsmanship and a whisky made to be savoured.

About

Every year, Fèis Ìle brings people from around the world to Islay to celebrate whisky, music and lifelong friendships. Unveiled for the 2023 festival, this limited edition was crafted to mark those shared moments, pairing Bunnahabhain's signature unpeated character with a distinctive cask influence in a whisky made to be opened, shared and remembered.
MATURATION JOURNEY

Distilled on 28th October 1998, this unpeated spirit began its journey in American oak casks before being transferred into first-fill Manzanilla sherry casks on 25th May 2016. Produced in Sanlúcar de Barrameda on Spain's Atlantic coast, Manzanilla sherry is renowned for its dry, elegant character, bringing notes of toasted almonds, delicate spice and a gentle maritime freshness. Those qualities mirror the coastal influence that defines Bunnahabhain, allowing spirit and cask to compliment one another rather than compete.

NEUS

SMAAKPALLET

Coastal influence of seaweed and fresh sea air are met with raisins and dates and intertwined with creamy fudge, waxed red apples and a warm sweet spice reminiscent of star anise.

AFWERKING

WAAR UNIEK SAMENKOMT MET UITZONDERLIJK

Our Difference

UNPEATED ISLAY

In tegenstelling tot andere distilleerderijen op Islay, staat Bunnahabhain bekend om zijn iconische, niet-geturfde Islay Single Malt Whisky.

EEN MINDER BELOPEN PAD

Gelegen aan de Sound of Islay is Bunnahabhain de meest noordelijke distilleerderij, die tot 1960 alleen per boot bereikbaar was. Nu via een smalle weg, is het een avontuur voor whiskyliefhebbers.

HOOGSTE OP ISLAY

De peervormige distilleerketels van Bunnahabhain zijn de hoogste op Islay. Hun ongewoon lange zwaanhalzen bevorderen een lichtere, delicate karakter van de spirit, omdat zwaardere smaakstoffen de top niet kunnen bereiken.

ONVERWISSELBARE GEEST

Niet gekoeld gefilterd en zonder toegevoegde kleur, is Bunnahabhain een robuuste, olieachtige drank die goed bestand is tegen volledige rijping in sherry en bottelingen op vatsterkte.

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