The Bunnahabhain Staoisha Very Cloudy 2014/2023 is an 8-year-old single malt whisky from the renowned Bunnahabhain distillery, located on the iconic Scottish island of Islay. Distilled in 2014 and bottled by Signatory Vintage in 2023, this unique expression is part of their esteemed Un-Chillfiltered Collection. Maturing in Dechar/Rechar Hogsheads (cask numbers 10687, 10714, 10729, and 10747) has endowed this whisky with a pronounced smoky flavor. True to its name, the whisky is not chill-filtered, resulting in a deliberately cloudy appearance, a hallmark of Signatory Vintage’s "Very Cloudy" series.
This fascinating whisky brims with character, confidence, and authenticity. With no chill-filtration and no added coloring, the Bunnahabhain Staoisha Very Cloudy 2014/2023 maintains its natural essence. Limited to just 1,990 bottles, it is a rare and highly coveted release. The re-charred bourbon casks contribute to its robust smoky profile.
The aroma is strong and complex, characterized by a maritime quality with notes of iodine, sea salt, peat smoke, earth, and a phenolic undertone. On the palate, it is full-bodied and multi-layered, featuring a pronounced smoky flavor with a dry finish. Citrus notes of orange peel and grapefruit enhance the flavor profile. The finish is medium-long and intensely smoky, reinforcing its peated style, which is emblematic of Islay whiskies. Despite its relatively modest alcohol content of 40% ABV, this whisky delivers an impactful experience.
The Bunnahabhain distillery's distinctive insular style is evident in this expression, making it a must-have for fans of smoky whiskies. This limited edition is sure to impress connoisseurs and collectors alike.
