Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 46.3%

In what will be seen as a positive move to whisky connoisseurs, the relaunched version of Bunnahabhain 18yo has ditched the caramel colouring and chill-filtration and upped the strength to 46.3%. A triumph for 'naturalist' whisky drinkers.

Tasting Note

Nose

Salted caramel leading to sticky toffee pudding sprinkled with nutmeg. With time a leathery quality emerges.

Palate

Dense, rich sherried notes perked up with a coastal saltiness. On a second wave roast chestnuts emerge and gentle wood spice.

Finish

Woodspice becomes mixed spice. The finish is warming and lengthy; salt and sherry towards the very end.
