Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 1979
1 Oct 2002
A rich and beautifully dark Bunnahabhain which we presume was aged in a very good sherry cask. This stuff was distilled in 1979 and aged for 23 long years before bottling in October 2002. This superb malt comes from our Lost Bottlings Series - a range of whiskies bottled many years ago, offering whisky lovers a chance to try spirit from a bygone era of distillation.
Hugely sherried nose with a core of Brazil nuts, freshly roasted espresso coffee beans and hints of moss on a Spring day.
Gingernut biscuits and salt caramels meld with a core of lovely creamy malt. The whole thing is rather oily and thick, coating the palate with soft spices, double cream and honey.
Honeyed, ginger-led finish. Digestive biscuits on the very tail.
A beautifully spicy whisky with a predominance of fresh ginger.
