Bunnahabhain 21 Year Old Cask Strength - 2024 Edition
An immensely impressive 21-year-old single malt from Bunnahabhain! Fully matured on Islay, the unpeated whisky spent the majority of its time in oloroso sherry casks, before a 21-month finish in Pedro Ximénez casks. Tasty, tasty stuff this.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Syrupy honey and milk bottle sweets cushion robust oak, giving way to notes of almond sponge, browned butter, guava, and the syrup from tinned pineapples. Date molasses rides throughout, with juicy sultanas, dried orange peels, and hints of dried cranberry bringing suggestions of a Manhattan.
Palate
Big but round, with waves of red fruits and stewed stone fruits bringing superb balance to tannic, leathery oak. Candied pecans and maple syrup soon follow, joined by mixed fruit and nuts, and a dusting of cocoa.
Finish
Soft, venerable oak, walnut, slightest hint of marshmallow, cassis, and more maple.
