Bunnahabhain 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bunnahabhain 30 Year Old is a rare and prestigious expression from this renowned Islay distillery — a whisky of remarkable depth, grace, and complexity. Matured exclusively in hand-selected ex-sherry casks for three decades, this unpeated single malt showcases the house style in its most elegant and mature form. Bottled at natural colour and without chill filtration, it is a true connoisseur’s dram — rich with history, craftsmanship, and the subtle influence of the sea.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Deep chestnut with rich amber hues.

Nose: An opulent bouquet of stewed plums, dried figs, dark chocolate, and treacle, layered with aromatic oak, polished leather, pipe tobacco, and hints of sea spray.

Palate: Silky and mouth-coating. Flavours of dark fruit compote, Christmas cake, honeycomb, roasted nuts, and Demerara sugar unfold in perfect harmony with warming spices — cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg — and a soft maritime salinity. Impeccable integration of oak and fruit, with a depth that continues to evolve in the glass.

Finish: Exceptionally long and refined, with lingering notes of rich oak, dark chocolate, spiced fruit, and a gentle coastal breeze.

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy neat in a wide-bowled glass to savour its full aromatic and flavour complexity. A few drops of water can reveal additional layers of depth. Perfect for marking the most special of occasions, or as a centrepiece whisky for the true collector — a spirit to be shared and remembered.
