Aged sherry
"A rich experience with lots of sherry cask influence. The age shows through with layer upon layer of flavour that needs time to unravel. It's become expensive over the years but that has followed the trend of all 20+ year old whiskies."
A permanent expression from the Bunnahabhain distillery on the northeast coast of Islay, and the most mature whisky in its regular core range. Produced from unpeated malt and matured for 25 years in ex-sherry casks. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46.3%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Sherried; sweet toffee and polished leather followed by cinnamon and the faintest hint of cardamon.
Palate: Fruit compote doused in cream and caster sugar, this develops into roasted malt, chestnuts and stewed raisins.
Finish: Demerara sugar, mixed spice, nutmeg and caramel lingering for long after the final sip.
Overall rating: 4.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.
