Bunnahabhain2001 WM Barrel Selection - Cask Strength

This whisky hails from the renowned Bunnahabhain distillery, known for its unique approach to Islay whisky. Distilled in 2001 and bottled at cask strength, it offers an unadulterated experience of the spirit, capturing the essence of its 19 years of maturation. The absence of chill filtration ensures that all the natural oils and flavors are preserved, providing a rich and full-bodied profile that is both complex and rewarding.

On the nose, this whisky presents a harmonious blend of maritime influences and subtle sweetness. The initial aroma is reminiscent of sea breeze, intertwined with hints of dried fruits and a touch of oak. As you delve deeper, you may detect nuances of vanilla and a faint smokiness, adding layers of depth to the olfactory experience.

The palate is equally captivating, offering a robust and oily texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of rich prunes and aged sherry dominate, complemented by a gentle peatiness that lingers in the background. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of dried fruits and a whisper of coastal brine, making it a truly memorable dram.
