Bunnahabhain 21yr Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish

A robust Cask Strength 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch that spent most of its life maturing in ex-Oloroso Sherry butts before a long 21-month finish in Pedro Ximénez casks.

Twenty-one carefully chosen casks were selected for this exclusive twenty-one-year-old release, inspired by the unfiltered, straight-from-the-cask tastings enjoyed by visitors in the distillery’s iconic coastal warehouses. This single malt highlights the expertise of Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez, who meticulously balanced the influence of the casks with the integrity of the original spirit. The Pedro Ximénez casks lend rich, sweet notes without overshadowing the whisky's character, creating a harmonious blend of spirit and wood.

Bottled at a robust Cask Strength ABV of 53.6% and fully matured on Islay, this whisky spent the majority of its aging in Ex-Oloroso Sherry casks before undergoing a final twenty-one-month finish in the finest Pedro Ximénez casks.

NOSE
Sweet nose with notes of dried fruit, nutmeg spice, honey, caramelized walnuts and a gentle touch of oak.

PALATE
Initial spicy notes of cinnamon and clove fade to reveal grape syrup which coats the palate, with raisins, figs, candied cherries and a hint of licorice.

FINISH
Lingering spicy finish of toasted coffee and cocoa.
