Bunnahabhain Moine Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Matured

Description

Bunnahabhain Moine Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 58.1%)

With a gorgeous deep red gold colour, a delightful balance between sweet grape, toffee, espresso and a warming peppery smoke, our 2008 M?ine Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Matured Edition is a rich and truly unique Bunnahabhain.

Bunnahabhain Distillery sits on one of the most remote corners of the island, nestled into the bay right on the Sound of Islay. Despite our remote location, we never stop searching the world for the perfect casks to complement our Single Malt Limited Editions, and for this 2008 M?ine Bordeaux Red Wine edition, we have found something truly special.

Although the original non-peated Islay malt, Bunnahabhain has become well known for its M?ine, (meaning ?peated? in Scots Gaelic) variants in recent years. For the first time in the distillery’s history, our peated spirit has been fully matured in premium red wine casks from Bordeaux in France. These casks have been maturing, protected from the elements in our coastal warehouses, for just under ten years, before being bottled in early 2018.

The result is a unique and stunning array of rich grape, toffee and peppery smoke notes, with a long and warming fruity finish. Sit back and savour.

Palate; Almost layered with rich grape and red wine influence, hints of toffee, chocolate and tobacco, developing into a warming peppery smoke.

Finish; Long and lingering combination of fruit and smoke.
