Bunnahabhain 2014 Single Cask Lord Xue Ying Exclusive Bottling (70cl, 54%)

Coming from an Islay distillery famous for its special edition whisky, Bunnahabhain 2014 Single Cask was bottled at the cask strength for the release of a Taiwanese manhua “Lord Xue Ying”. Even though it’s released “for the fans”, this single malt is a very fine dram on its own. Thanks to the sherry cask, the nose is rich and pleasant, with strong notes of vanilla and smoke. The smokiness adds to the fruity taste as well, coupled with honey and brown sugar, topped off with a long warm finish. Whether you are a fan of the manhua or just want to enjoy a good Islay single malt, this special Bunnahabhain 2014 Single Cask is worth trying out. Be quick, though – only 100 bottles were ever released!
