21 Year Old 2004 Decadent Drinks

About

This Bunnahabhain 21 Year Old from 2004 is a fully sherry-matured Islay single malt released by Decadent Drinks in their Old Islay series. At 55% ABV and just 296 bottles, this whisky strikes a remarkable balance between dry and sweet sherry notes with a modern, intense character. The nose reveals red berries, plums and strawberry jam, complemented by cedarwood, cinnamon and nutmeg. Salted walnuts and subtle leathery notes add depth. On the palate it becomes spicier with nutmeg and black pepper, followed by nutty warmth, hazelnut and salted caramel. A pleasant acidity lifts the entire profile, alongside coastal salt notes. The finish is long and drying, with chocolate and herbs emerging. A whisky that proves modern sherry maturation can be clean and intense, perfect for those seeking rich, complex profiles.
