Discovery Range – Bunnahabhain 11 Years Sherry – Gordon & MacPhail 70 CL 43%

Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Gordon & MacPhail, who have aged and bottled this whiskey for their Discovery range. It is aged in sherry casks, which suits the spirit of Bunnahabhain beautifully – this is one of Islay’s few non-smoked stills, so you can expect a juicy, smooth and fruity whiskey with no sharp edges.

Colour: Golden.
Aroma: Cinnamon notes, orange marmalade and fruit compote.
Tasting notes: Rich notes of dried fruit, burnt sugar, lemon and orange peel.

Serving suggestion: Should be enjoyed neat.

Bunnahabhain (founded 1881) stands out from most other distilleries on the island of Islay by making both minimally smoked and heavily smoked whiskies. The main emphasis, approximately 65%, is on the unsmoked. The whiskey from Bunnahabhain has played an important role in the three popular blends Cutty Sark, Famous Grouse and Black Bottle, and most of the whiskey is still used in blends, but there is a greater focus on single malt than before. They are also renovating the distillery, so that there is room for more casks in a series of new warehouses, which will be right down to the water. In addition, these warehouses probably have one of Scotland’s most beautiful views over the strait and the neighboring island of Jura. In 2018, 2.1 million liters of pure alcohol were made at the distillery.

Gordon & MacPhail are to the noble single malt what Lennon & McCartney are to pop music. For more than 100 years, they have insisted on jumping over the highest fence. The inherited sense of selecting the absolute best casks from a wide range of distilleries is practiced today as it was 100 years ago. Once the dish is selected, it is transported to G&M’s warehouse in Elgin. Here the cask is looked after and cared for along with thousands of other selected casks until that day in the future, be it five, ten or fifty years down the line, when the whiskey has reached its zenith. Only here are the precious drops bottled.
