18-year-old

About

Bunnahabhain's 18-year-old is a refined expression of unpeated Islay single malt, matured in sherry casks that fully capture the distinctive character of this coastal distillery. At 46.3% ABV, this whisky delivers a full, rounded profile with subtle yet distinctive maritime influences that define the island's terroir. On the nose, classic sherry notes emerge alongside honeyed sweetness, complemented by dried fruits—raisins, figs, plums, and apples. The palate strikes an elegant balance between confectionery richness and coastal minerality, with toffee, caramel, and vanilla leading to subtle baking spices and toasted nuts. A delicate salted note adds sophistication, reminiscent of quality salted caramel with hints of pear. The finish is dry and fruity, with lingering sea salt that underscores the whisky's maritime heritage.
