Nose
an inviting medley of dried fruits, oak, and a gentle coastal brininess that is characteristic of Bunnahabhain whiskies. The Refill Sherry Butt influence makes itself known with notes of raisins, figs, and a whisper of warm baking spices.
Palate
unfolds a symphony of flavors. Velvety waves of dark chocolate, toffee, and a touch of espresso dance across the taste buds, creating a harmonious balance between sweetness and depth. The cask strength of 53.8% amplifies the intensity of the experience, allowing the intricate layers to shine through. The maritime influence becomes more pronounced, reminiscent of sea salt and a gentle sea breeze.
Finish
a lingering celebration of the whisky's journey through time and cask. Oak tannins intermingle with a subtle smokiness, leaving a warm and satisfying afterglow that invites reflection on each sip.
