WHISKY CHARACTERISTICS

ABOUT

Twenty-one carefully chosen casks were selected for this exclusive twenty-one-year-old release, inspired by the unfiltered, straight-from-the-cask tastings enjoyed by visitors in our distillery’s iconic coastal warehouses. This single malt highlights the expertise of Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez, who meticulously balanced the influence of the casks with the integrity of the original spirit. The Pedro Ximénez casks lend rich, sweet notes without overshadowing the whisky's character, creating a harmonious blend of spirit and wood.

MATURATION JOURNEY

Bottled at a robust Cask Strength ABV of 53.6% and fully matured on Islay, this whisky spent the majority of its aging in Ex-Oloroso Sherry casks before undergoing a final twenty-one-month finish in the finest Pedro Ximénez casks.

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.
