Special features: This exclusive bottling celebrates the 35th anniversary of the Rare Reserve series from Signatory Vintage. The 44-year-old whisky matured in a second fill Oloroso sherry butt, giving it a complex depth. The limited edition consists of only 238 bottles, which are presented in a luxurious wooden box.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Layered aromas of ripe dried fruits, walnuts, and a hint of leather, underpinned by sherry-typical sweetness.
Palate: Full-bodied with notes of dark chocolate, orange zest, and spicy wood, accompanied by a subtle hint of salt.
Finish: Long-lasting, warm, and dry with traces of oak and fine spice complexity.
Distillery/Bottler: Bunnahabhain, a traditional distillery on Islay, is known for its gentle and sherry-focused single malts, characterized by a less peaty style. The bottling is done by Signatory Vintage, a renowned independent bottler from Scotland, specializing in carefully selected, rare whiskies.
