Bunnahabhain 'Signatory Vintage' New Zealand Exclusive 2014 / 2023 #10738
The team at Whisky Galore are delighted to bring you this very special single cask Bunnahabhain from Signatory Vintage, bottled exclusively for New Zealand. Distilled from heavily peated barley, this peated spirit (known by its name as Staoisha) has matured in a cask that has been given a process of de-charring and re-charring to maximize the development and extraction of flavour from the wood.
On the nose, a rich and oily scent of toasted peanuts is surrounded by thick peat smoke and a medicinal quality of old first-aid kits (bandages and antiseptic) and salted-caramel. To taste, there is sweet, malty chocolate biscuits joining a tang of salt & vinegar chips, before a surge of rich peat smoke, carried on a highly viscous mouthfeel. With water, it evokes a big burst of smoke from a diesel engine during a cold start.
SPECIALLY SELECTED
BURNING BUNNAHABHAIN
Ordinarily, Bunnahabhain is totally unpeated, but this cask #10738 was filled with the distillery's heavily peated spirit, known as Staoisha, named after a nearby Loch.
