The Bunnahabhain 40yo is a remarkable whisky, representing the pinnacle of the distillery's range and a piece of its history. This whisky is a result of the master blender's discovery of long-forgotten casks in the warehouse, which were then vatted together to create this rich, deep, and complex dram. Bottled at 41.9% ABV, this 40-year-old Islay single malt is unique in that it is made with unpeated malted barley and pure spring water from a source away from the famous peat marshes.
The whisky offers fragrant notes of sweet oak, hazelnut, citrus, vanilla, and chocolate, with hints of light smokiness. On the palate, it has a rich and complex balance of heather honey, ginger, chocolate, and sweet fruits, finished with a teasingly long, lightly spicy, nutty note and a hint of sea salt.
Bunnahabhain, founded in 1881, is known for its traditionally unpeated Islay whisky, and this 40-year-old expression is no exception. It is presented in a wooden box and is a small-batch release, with only 1000 bottles available, making it a rare and highly sought-after whisky. The distillery has a rich history, having been owned by Highland Distillers for over a century before changing hands several times, and is now owned by Distell International.
Bunnahabhain 40yo is unique because it is made with unpeated malted barley, unlike most Islay whiskies that are known for their peatiness. This gives it a distinct flavor profile.
