Bunnahabhain Canasta Cask Matured Feis Ile 2023 Whisky

This limited edition Islay single malt is a bold celebration of tradition and craft, released for the annual Feis Ile festival. Distilled at the remote Bunnahabhain distillery on Scotland’s rugged west coast, this expression showcases a unique maturation process.

It is aged exclusively in rare Canasta sherry casks sourced from Spain, known for their sweet and rich profile. Bottled at natural cask strength, this release offers an indulgent, unfiltered experience that captures the essence of both sherry and Islay malt in perfect harmony.

• Aromas of dried fruit, brown sugar and baked apple unfold with soft notes of honey and toasted oak
• The palate reveals layers of sweet caramel, raisin and rich molasses balanced by warming spice and nutty depth. Textured and full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and hints of vanilla and soft wood smoke
• The finish is long, smooth and satisfying with lingering flavours of fruit cake and sherry-laced sweetness

Enjoy it with slow-roasted lamb, duck in plum sauce or chargrilled aubergine for a savoury pairing. On the sweet side, try it with sticky date pudding, dark chocolate torte or a classic treacle tart.
