Bunnahabhain 2023 Coterie Exclusive 2008 Rioja Cask Finish 55.8%

This 2008 vintage Bunnahabhain, bottled in 2023 as a Coterie Club Exclusive spent five years finishing in casks that once held Rioja wine. This finish offers a great vinous character to the distillery’s robust oily unpeated spirit. Swirling with oaky nuttiness, waves of red grape, chocolate raisins and a warming hint of exotic spice it's immediately distinctive. 

On the nose, cherry ice cream and soft caramel give way to toasted malt, dark berries, and a whisper of spice. The palate offers roasted nuts, cloves, and toasted oak alongside sweet red grapes, chocolate raisins, and a gentle herbaceous thread. The finish is long and spicy, with a signature coastal mist to close. Bottled at cask strength 55.8% abv, this is a genuine collector's dram.
