Released to celebrate Fèis Ìle 2024, this 23 Year Old cask strength limited edition from Bunnahabhain is a tribute to its house style: unpeated, classically sherried single malts that are damn delicious. It's an experimental combination of some of the best sherry cask finishes from Bunnahabhain - amontillado, manzanilla and oloroso.
Distilled in 1999, the spirit was transferred into amontillado casks on 4 November 2009, oloroso casks on 20 June 2011 and manzanilla casks on 12 September 2016. Master blender Julieann Fernandez married these fine whiskies together and then bottled them up at a cask strength of 53.3% ABV.
