Bunnahabhain recently announce the release of its 30-year-old and 40-year-old single malts in the United States.
Aged in sherry casks, the 30-year-old and 40-year-old expressions represent Islay craftsmanship, reflecting the distillery’s unpeated style and coastal influences.
The 30 year expression was distilled in small batches, matured in 100% sherry casks and is 92.6 proof. As the newest member of the Bunnahabhain core range, this first batch release of a 30-year whisky is one of the distilleries’ oldest single malts. This expression, a rich and sweet dram, was matured exclusively in ex-sherry casks in coastal warehouses at the distillery and is non-chill filtered, with a natural color.
Bunnahabhain’s 40 Year Whisky was matured for four decades in a warehouse by the sea in casks that were all but forgotten. Bunnahabhain’s blending team discovered them while reviewing the warehouse ledgers. Sourced from wines and spirits merchant J.G Turney, these casks have been home to this whisky for the past forty years.
“Our 30- and 40-year-old whiskies are a tribute to Bunnahabhain’s dedication to quality and patience,” said Juliann Fernandez, Bunnahabhain Master Distiller. “These releases have been nurtured with the utmost care, allowing the complex layers of flavor to develop over time. From the rich sherry notes to the coastal breeze woven into every drop, these whiskies invite true connoisseurs to experience the essence of Islay at its finest.”
Bunnahabhain 30 Year Whisky and Bunnahabhain 40 Year Whisky are available now for $999.99 and $3,785.99, respectively.
