Bunnahabhain Staoisha 2014 is a bold and heavily peated Islay single malt bottled as part of the acclaimed 100 Proof Edition series. Distilled in 2014 and matured for 10 years, this release showcases the smoky side of Bunnahabhain — spirit produced under the Staoisha name, reserved for the distillery’s peated expressions.
Matured in a combination of first-fill Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon hogsheads, it balances powerful peat smoke with rich sweetness and coastal depth. Bottled at the traditional 100 proof (57.1% ABV), non-chill filtered and natural colour, it delivers intensity, texture, and classic Islay character in abundance.
This is a whisky that combines earthy smoke, maritime salinity, and dark sherried richness — a powerful yet surprisingly balanced dram for peat lovers.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Heavy peat smoke, sea salt, smoked bacon, dark fruit, and warming spice with hints of vanilla and charred oak.
Palate: Rich and oily, showing campfire smoke, treacle, dried fruit, black pepper, roasted nuts, and coastal minerality.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering ash smoke, salted caramel, oak spice, and earthy peat.
