From the Bunnahabhain Website

Our first release for Fèis Ìle 2021 is a delicious 8 year smoky whisky. Finished in Bordeaux casks, this limited edition has notes of rich spice, dark grapes and hints of cocoa and warming chilli to create a truly special dram.

Description

Since 1881, we've been making exceptional single malts at Bunnahabhain, during which time we've welcomed plenty of visitors to share the fruits of our dedication to traditional craft. That same spirit of friendship has now inspired us to create this exclusive malt for the 2021 Fèis Ìle.

Carefully matured inside our peaceful coastal distillery, its golden depths swirl with gentle notes of oily peat, rich spices and dark grapes, intertwined with just the faintest hints of cocoa and warming chilli.  As well as lingering on the tongue, its delicately balanced flavour lives long in the memory - just like Islay's famous festival.

Tasting Notes

Burnt Amber

Nose

Light toasted oak, red fruits leading to a sweet, dark fruit jam and a hint of dry smoke

Palate

Peat smoke, oak spice, dark grapes, cocoa and red chili, with a delicately balanced sweetness and acidity.

Long and sweet, with hints of red wine and over-ripened grapes.
