2013 Cl 6y

About

Staoisha is Bunnahabhain's peated expression, a rare departure from the Islay distillery's typically unpeated style. This 2013 bottling from Claxton's is a robust, full-bodied single malt that masterfully balances smoke with subtle sweetness. At 58% ABV, it delivers impressive depth and intensity while remaining highly drinkable. On the nose, peaty smoke mingles with fruity and floral notes, creating an inviting complexity. The palate reveals a jammy fruitiness layered beneath the characteristic Islay peat, with enough sweetness to provide balance and elegance. The finish is long and warming, with persistent smoke gradually giving way to toffee and woody undertones that linger pleasantly.
