Bunnahabhain Abhainn Araig – Fèis Ìle 2022 50.8% vol 700ml Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bunnahabhain Araig Bottling Note Released for Fèis Ìle 2022, this expression from Bunnahabhain has been dubbed Abhainn Araig, meaning "Araig River" in Scots Gaelic. The single malt itself was drawn from a combination of ex-bourbon casks Pedro Ximénez sherry octave casks, making for a complex and intriguing flavour profile. Another exciting bottling from the amazing Islay distillery! Nose: Pretty well-behaved, almost shy at times. Soft coastal touches with a citrus influence, fermented mash, sweet pastry and vanilla pods. However, those descriptors are a bit deceiving, as cocoa powder, walnut skin, plums and cherries add another dimension to the Bunnahabhain Abhainn Araig. Taste: And we’re off with sultanas, caramel and toffee, but the arrival is a combination of walnuts, charred oak and intense spices. The mouthfeel is a bit thinner than expected. Finish: Some chocolate, cumin and coffee grounds, as well as lingering oak spices and an alcoholic touch. Product of Scotland Non-Chill Filtered Natural Color
