Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Cask Strength 2023 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

2023 Batch

Our third annual 12-Year-Old Cask Strength has been bottled at a higher ABV of 60.1% and retained a full spectrum of flavours which have been developed from the sherry casks during maturation. The 2023 edition delivers a fruiter profile with notes of stone fruits and figs at the forefront, and a less spicy finish with sweet notes of fresh vanilla pods.

Matured on the remote, north-eastern coastline of Islay, and produced using natural spring water from the Margadale spring, this 12-Year-Old Cask Strength is an undiluted celebration of the distillery’s hugely popular Bunnahabhain 12-Year-Old.  

When people embark on a journey to Islay and try Bunnahabhain whiskies straight from cask in the ever-popular Warehouse 9, it creates so much joy and excitement. However, we know that not everyone can make the trip to our remote distillery home to experience this for themselves. Therefore, this limited edition 12-Year-Old cask strength gives people from around the world the chance to experience it for themselves.

Like all our whiskies, this is non-chillfiltered and bottled with natural colour.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Deep mahogany

Nose: Floral and nutty with notes of marzipan, hazelnut, almond cream and morello cherries.

Palate: Roasted nuts and spice lead the way with cinnamon and cloves fading to reveal soft notes of butterscotch, toffee, sultanas and a gentle hint of coffee.

Finish: Lingering notes of cloves, hazelnut and cocoa. 

"This is a damn good dram ... Profile-wise, this sits somewhere between the 2021 and the 2022. Quality-wise, though, this is on-par with the 2022."  - Drummond Dunmore, Dramface
