This 22 year old limited release from Bunnahabhain distillery on Islay was finished in a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask before being bottled in January 2020.
The whisky for this limited release was distilled on 5th September 1997 and matured in traditional ex-whisky casks until 10th March 2016 when it was transferred to Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for the remainder of maturation.
Peated spirit and PX sherry casks is usually a winning combination for Islay whiskies, so we're confident this is a tasty dram.
Nose: Sultanas, figs & dreid fruit with sweet berries, balanced with a peppery smokiness.
Palate: Roasted nuts, fig rolls, vanilla and caramel, sweet mouth feel with a layered character – sweet and fruity developing to peppery smoke.
Finish: Peppery sweet.
