This Bunnahabhain blend combines whisky aged in small, flavor-concentrating Pedro Ximenez sherry octave casks with whiskies matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a rich, complex, and balanced dram that showcases the distillery's skill in creating layered and nuanced spirits.
Tasting Note by Bunnahabhain:
Nose: Chocolate, powdered ginger and cigar box.
Palate: A velvety rich texture, initially creamy milk chocolate then sweet raisins and dried raspberries. As the PX develops, balsamic vinegar and honeyed macadamias come through.
Finish: Deep and rich, with dark toffee and a final spicy burst of cinnamon.
