The Bunnahabhain 2012 SV 1st Fill Sherry Butt is a single malt whisky boasting a potent alcohol volume of 65.3% and a generous 700ml bottle size. This exceptional spirit was distilled in 2012 and, after maturing for nine years in a first-fill sherry butt sourced from Spain, it was bottled in 2022 by the renowned Signatory Vintage. The whisky originates from the Bunnahabhain Distillery, which is situated on the picturesque Hebridean island of Islay and has been crafting exquisite whiskies since the late 19th century.
This whisky stands out because it is not always peated, offering a distinctive alternative to some of its Islay counterparts. It is non-chill filtered and free from added coloring, ensuring a pure and authentic tasting experience. Limited to a release of just 631 bottles, this expression showcases Bunnahabhain's and Signatory Vintage's dedication to highlighting the natural flavors inherent in the whisky. The result is a full-bodied, earthy whisky enriched with sweet, fruity notes and subtle maritime undertones. Despite the lack of heavy peat, it honors its Islay roots and the character of Bunnahabhain malt.
To fully appreciate this whisky's complex flavors, it is recommended to add a few drops of water. This helps to temper the high alcohol content and unveils additional layers of taste. This whisky is essential for any enthusiast seeking an authentic and unique tasting experience.
