Bunnahabhain – 18 Year Old (70cl)

Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky in the distillery's unpeated style. It spent eighteen years in ex-Oloroso sherry oak casks and is bottled at natural colour without chill-filtration. The time in Spanish oak adds a rich dried-fruit character that sits against the coastal brine of the distillery's ocean-facing warehouse. The colour is a bright amber and the mouthfeel is full, smooth and creamy. The nose brings milk chocolate, dark raisins, toffee and baking spices. On the palate come stewed berries, red apples and black pepper with a subtle herbal edge. The finish is warm, moving from sweet fruit to lingering spice and ripe Morello cherry.
