Bunnahabhain2010 Mòine Feis Ile 2020
Summary
This whisky hails from the renowned Bunnahabhain distillery, known for its unique approach to Islay whisky. Distilled in 2010 and bottled for the Feis Ile festival in 2020, it offers a decade of maturation that brings out a complex interplay of flavors. The term 'Mòine' indicates a peated expression, setting it apart from the typically unpeated Bunnahabhain offerings, making it a special treat for peat enthusiasts.

The palate follows through with a robust and oily texture, delivering layers of peat smoke intertwined with subtle hints of sweetness and spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering smoky aftertaste that invites another sip.
This expression is a testament to Bunnahabhain's craftsmanship, balancing the boldness of peat with the distillery's signature smoothness. It's an excellent choice for those looking to explore the peated side of Islay whiskies, offering a rich and rewarding experience that showcases the depth and complexity achievable in a 10-year-old single malt.
