Bunnahabhain unveils limited edition expressions including rare peated malt<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Islay\u2019s most remote distillery, Bunnahabhain has unveiled two new limited edition expressions \u2013 a peated Bunnahabhain 2004 Moine Brandy Finish and an unpeated Bunnahabhain 2003 Pedro Xim\u00e9nez Finish.<\/p>\n

The 2004 Moine Brandy Finish is a peated malt that has latterly been matured in brandy casks, which is a first for the distillery. Bottled at 55.7%, the naturally coloured whisky has a complex and intriguing nose of honeyed nuts and rich oak, with hints of dried fruit and grapes, and a smoky peppery finish. Truly distinctive, it has a rich and smooth palate, created by a perfect balance of dried fruit, rich brandy influence and strong smokiness with a lingering sweet finish. The malt has been released to select markets with an RRP of \u00a380.<\/p>\n

The second release, a 2003 Pedro Xim\u00e9nez Finish, is in Bunnahabhain\u2019s more traditional style, an unpeated malt finished in limited edition Pedro Xim\u00e9nez butts. The rich, syrupy malt has a sweet nose of toffee, dried fruit, nuts and chocolate. Bottled at 54.8%, this exceptional whisky is golden in colour, reflecting a deep palate of Pedro Xim\u00e9nez influence with a taste of toffee, honeyed nuts and notes of raisins and sultanas creating a deliciously long and sweet finish. It will be sold at an RRP of \u00a385.<\/p>\n

Bunnahabhain\u2019s location at the northernmost tip of the sound of Islay ensures that all of the on-site warehouses are continually exposed to the seaside elements. This means every bottle of Bunnahabhain has an indelible mark from the sea and a coastal influence, creating to a selection of malts that truly express their geography. This signature salty brine of Bunnahabhain lends itself particularly well to new cask finishes such as the latest releases from the distillery.<\/p>\n

Derek Scott, Brand Director \u2013 Malt Whisky, at Distell\u00a0<\/strong>said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u201c<\/em>These latest limited editions give whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to experience unique malts from a truly special distillery.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely proud to showcase our gently peated malt, the 2004 Moine Brandy Finish. The influence of the brandy casks in its final years of maturation has created a wonderful richness and complex palate that really complements the salty character of Bunnahabhain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOur 2003 Pedro Xim<\/em>\u00e9nez\u00a0has been finished in hand-selected sherry casks creating a unique combination of the classic elegant style of Bunnahabhain contrasted by a sweet note drawn from the sherried wood. This has become a favourite of our Distillery Manager, Andrew Brown \u2013 having worked in the distillery for over 30 years, he\u2019s certainly qualified to pick a great Bunnahabhain dram!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
