After 18 long years of maturation, this rich mahogany malt is classic Bunnahabhain. Intensely warming with dried fruit, sherry, toffee and spices leading to a rich honeyed nuttiness and the slightest hint of sea salt.
Our 18 Year Old is one of our most awarded Single Malts and once you’ve tasted it you’ll understand the wealth of accolades it has achieved. The deep mahogany colour of the whisky gives away the exclusive sherry cask maturation and the tang of salt on the tongue reminds you of our coastal location.
“Much is hidden deep within the rich, mahogany depths of this 18 Year Old malt. First a scent of exotic spice and honeyed nuts, then flavours of sherry, fruit and oak building to a lingering finish”.
Andrew Brown, Distillery Manager
With warehouses positioned along the shore and a bay fed by the Sound of Islay, there is no escaping the salty sea air, especially when you’re maturing by it for 18 long years.
