This multi-award-winning 18-year-old is a benchmark for unpeated Islay single malts, showcasing the signature "coastal and sherried" house style of Bunnahabhain. It presents a deep, natural mahogany colour derived from its long maturation in predominantly ex-Sherry casks. The nose is rich and fragrant, offering a complex bouquet of dried fruits, salted caramel, and roasted nuts, underscored by a distinctive sea-spray salinity and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, the whisky is incredibly dense and silky, delivering deep flavours of toffee, spicy oak, and sherry-soaked raisins, balanced by a gentle maritime tang. The finish is remarkably long and warming, lingering with notes of dry spice, leather, and a faint, sweet nuttiness.
Food Pairing: Perfectly complements dark chocolate lava cake, blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, caramelized walnuts, or a savory pairing of salt-crusted roasted lamb.
