Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old
Pronunciation: {Bu-na-haven}
Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old is matured in sherry casks (predominantly Oloroso), which give it a rich, warm, and elegant profile. Unlike most Islay whiskies, which are heavily peated, this expression is almost smoke-free, allowing the purity and gentle sweetness of its character to shine through.
Distillation takes place traditionally on the shores of Islay, where the salty sea air and humid climate play an essential role in the whisky’s slow maturation.
The aroma whisky is complex and inviting – dominated by sherry, caramel, dried fruits, nuts, dark chocolate, and a hint of sea salt. Subtle notes of vanilla, honey, and soft oak appear in the background.
On the palate, it’s full-bodied, rich, and beautifully balanced. Layers of dark chocolate, dried plums, caramel, nuts, raisins, and gentle spice come together harmoniously. The touch of sea salt and a trace of tobacco add depth and an authentic Islay signature.
The finish is long, warm, and elegant – lingering with notes of sherry, caramel, nuts, and a whisper of sea breeze.
Bunnahabhain 18 is best enjoyed neat at room temperature, or with a few drops of water to reveal its delicate layers of aroma. Perfect for slow evening sipping – for those who appreciate refinement and the genuine character of fine Scotch whisky.
