Bunnahabhain 1998 Manzanilla Cask Finish - Fèis Ìle 2023
This one isn't likely to hang about. It's special 25-year-old release to celebrate Fèis Ìle 2023. This was finished in the little-seen manzanilla cask, a salty dry wine from Sanlucar de Barrameda in Spain, and bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 52.3%. It tastes like essence of aged manzanilla. Really superb.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Strong maritime smell, saline, toasted almonds, apples and toffee - really smells like sherry. Plus woody spices.
Palate
Peppery and spicy, very dry, salty and rasping, like an old amontillado. Then you get sweeter dried fruit and date notes. Beautifully balanced.
Finish
Long, sweet and spicy with salted caramel.
