Staff Pick Notes

What a treat it is to taste one of the most fascinating and dare I say under the radar Scotch distilleries at cask strength! Bunnahabhain is an interesting study of unexpected surprises, as they are the only distillery on Islay producing unpeated single malts, with a large amount of oloroso sherry casks used in the aging process. And if you are a fan of sherry matured single malts, this release is a must try! Distilled and aged solely on Islay, bottled without chill filtration or added color are all music to my ears. These decisions all help to preserve the unique coastal influence of Islay, with a brininess that enhances the chocolate, caramel, and dried fruit flavors, with an oiliness that is far to often missing in today’s whiskies. As much as I love the standard 12 year, this bottling dials up all of the flavors to another level!
