Signatory Cask Bunnahabhain 13 Year
Size
- 750ml, bottle
Beyond the Label
Bunnahabhain is famous for releasing unpeated whiskies despite being on the island of Islay. This allows it to showcase many of the island's coastal notes without tying those elements to heavy smoke notes. Here is a unique single cask Bunnahabhain that spent its whole 13 year life in a 1st Fill Sherry Butt, gradually absorbing those sweet, fruity sherried notes and intermingling them with a salty, malty, almost chocolatey base. It is deliciously complex and much more than just sherry sweet.
Islay and sherry is a heralded combination regularly sought out by collectors and enthusiasts alike. The rare opportunity to find this combination, bottled from a single cask at its natural cask strength should not be missed.

Scent and Flavor
NOSE
There is so much to the nose it is hard to disambiguate. It is almost all spices and sweet fruits: cherry, raspberry, Harissa, and allspice are all certainly there. A sawdust or fresh cut lumber note that is both green and wooden. Wonderful and intoxicating.
PALATE
The palate continues the spicy-sweet theme. Raspberries and strawberries here along with a melange of red fruits. This couples with Bunnahabhain's characteristic mineralic and briney elements, like a sea soaked wet stone.
FINISH
As it sits, the finish evolves and turns slightly darker. Black cherry cola. Whipping cream. Bitter chocolate. Soup broth and sea salt brine.
