About

Bunnahabhain's 1998 vintage represents a classic expression from this distinguished Islay distillery, showcasing refined character and sophisticated balance. Founded in 1881 on the island's north coast, Bunnahabhain has long been known for producing elegant single malts. Bottled at cask strength, this vintage delivers a full-bodied, complex experience shaped by decades of maturation. The nose reveals layers of bright yellow apples, ripe pears, and toffee, complemented by roasted nuts and toasted bread. On the palate, fresh pomegranate, chewing tobacco, and salted caramel emerge alongside a subtle umami quality. The finish is long and dry, with peppery spice and dried fruit notes providing a graceful conclusion. A few drops of water enhance the whisky's complexity and tame the alcohol's intensity.
