Bunnahabhain Moine PX Cask Finish Whisky 22 Year Old 1997 In Gift Box

1997 was the year Bunnahabhain started experimenting with peated spirit again after a hiatus of almost 35 years. It would not become a permanent part of production until 2003 meaning some of this 1997 stock is now quite rare to see, especially bottled by the distillery itself.

This exceptional whisky has undergone a meticulous maturation process within the confines of a singular pedro ximenez cask until its bottling in January 2020. This patient ageing has bestowed upon it a remarkable array of aromas that tantalise the senses.

Upon first encounter, the nose has enchanting notes of toffee, where the sweetness intertwines gracefully with dried fruits. Roasted nuts add a delightful earthy depth, while hints of chocolate emerge. These scents weave together to create a sensory tapestry that promises a rich and complex tasting experience
The palate is a symphony of flavours. Raisins and sultanas burst forth, their natural sweetness enhanced by the careful maturation process. Honeyed dates add a luxurious dimension, providing a velvety sweetness that envelops the taste buds. Coffee notes bring a robust depth, adding a touch of bitterness that balances the overall sweetness. Enriching the experience further by the presence of salted caramel chocolate, merging the realms of sweet and savoury in a harmonious blend that is both indulgent and satisfying
In every sip, this whisky tells a story of craftsmanship and time
The marriage of flavours, meticulously curated within the confines of a single cask, a testament to the distiller
From the initial aroma to the lingering aftertaste, is a celebration of the intricate dance between wood and spirit
Resulting in a Scottish whisky that is nothing short of extraordinary
