A 44 Year Old Bunnahabhain single malt from indie bottler Elixir Distillers, this exceptional whisky has been matured in a single cask for more than four decades before being bottled as part of their Director's Special range. Limited to just 492 bottles and bottled in the year 2020 at an ABV of 42.4%, this expression represents the pinnacle of Islay whisky craftsmanship. The nose reveals a complex harmony of plum wine, caramel sauce, quince, marshmallows, and gingerbread, intertwined with wildflowers and sweet tea. On the palate, the whisky unfolds layers of fresh peppermint, damp oak, tangerine, heather honey, mango, and subtle notes of tobacco, leading to a long, lingering finish marked by spice, oak, and a fruity sweetness. This Bunnahabhain 44yo is a true testament to the art of whisky making, offering a rich and multi-faceted tasting experience.
