Bunnahabhain 2009/2024 - 14 y.o. - Ruby Port Cask Finish Feis Ile 2024
Special features: This limited original bottling for Feis Ile 2024 presents a 14-year-old Bunnahabhain, whose maturation in bourbon casks creates a smooth base before a finish in ruby port hogsheads gives the whisky an elegant, fruity depth. The powerful cask strength of 58.7% adds extra intensity to the drop, with a conscious decision to forgo chill filtration and coloring to preserve character and authenticity.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fruity notes of red berries and dark cherries, accompanied by subtle hints of oak and spices.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied with sweet fruitiness, underpinned by vanilla and a fine touch of salty minerality.
Finish: Long-lasting, warm with an elegant combination of port wine sweetness and slightly smoky nuances.
Distillery/Bottler: Bunnahabhain is a traditional distillery on the Scottish island of Islay, known for its milder and less peaty whiskies compared to other Islay producers.
