Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old

46.3% Vol
By rebranding the whisky, and bottling at a higher strength without filtration Bunnahabhain has gone from an also ran to a serious contender for many connoiseurs. The 18 year old packs a serious punch given its low peating levels, what really stands out are some glorious Sherry cask flavours and a savoury/meaty/salty character. This is great stuff.

FAQs
Islay whiskies are peaty because the island's distillers traditionally used locally cut peat to dry malted barley in their kilns, and many continue to do so. Burning peat produces phenolic compounds, primarily guaiacol and cresols, which are absorbed by the malt during the drying process and carried through distillation into the spirit. The specific character of Islay peat, formed from decomposed coastal vegetation, seaweed, and heather, produces the distinctive medicinal iodine, seaweed, and maritime smoke associated with Ardbeg, Laphroaig, and Lagavulin.
