About this deal

We asked our Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez, to explain more about the differences between our first and second 12 Year Old cask strength releases. Here's what she had to say...

The distillery has come a long way since those days and the Scotch whisky industry has become somewhat obsessed (with good reason) with reducing its emissions. The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) has set a target of net zero emissions by 2040. Bunnahabhain, however, hopes to beat that date by a considerable margin.

It is a bit abrasive at first and gives the robustness of a cask strength whisky. Lots of Spice, Coa-coa and Pepper on the front.

Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. Nose: Initial notes of creamy milk chocolate, red berries and sweet dried fruit are balanced with classic Oloroso spiciness and a hint of cloves. Thoughts: I’m a huge fan of Bunnahabhain’s standard 12-year-old bottling. In terms of core range, age-stated releases, it’s about the best value for money you’ll find today. The idea of a cask strength version seemed to hold a lot of potential but I did wonder how much better it could be, given the impressive standard of the original. As it turns out, the original could be improved upon. Quite a bit, in fact. The sherry character seems more intense in the cask strength version. In fact, everything seems to have been dialled up a notch. The raisins are juicier, the caramel richer and the peppercorns spicier. It’s just altogether… bigger. There are not many contemporary releases worth chasing, but this cask strength Bunnahabhain is a notable exception. On the nose, prunes, almonds and earthy sherry notes are complemented by bitter chocolate, tobacco and currants. Very inviting and layered. The rich arrival is bursting with dark fruits, toffee and cocoa, while nutmeg, mint and hints of salt develop mid-palate. Sublime mouthfeel. Slightly dry oak, roasted coffee and eucalyptus remain in the prolonged aftertaste. An adorable sherry bomb, I can only quote Ralfy: What an absolute joy!

Bunnahabhain Distillery dates from the Victorian age. It was established in the north-east of Islay in 1881. In those days, that part of the island was largely empty. The village that now surrounds the distillery was built purely to accommodate the workers. All deliveries were made by sea with fuel and supplies dropped off and whisky shipped off to the mainland to be sold to the blenders and bottlers of the big cities. It wasn’t until 1960 that a road was constructed to link the distillery with Port Askaig. Even then, deliveries by boat continued until 1993.

Taste: Arrives with the same dried fruits character… Raisins, sultanas, prunes. Salted caramel. Peppercorns. More chocolate. Oak char. Malty, cereals on the finish. Some fresh leather.

Palate: Coa-coa, Spice, Light Brine, Full oily body, Sweet Dried Fruits, Toffee, Mild Oak Tannins, Candy Orange Citrus. With Bunnahabhain 12yo cask strength, we hand select the casks which make the batch, based on cask type and profile. We choose from a selection of first and second fill oloroso casks and balance with a small percentage of bourbon. As this product is cask strength, the strength naturally will vary – in 2021 the strength was 55.1% in comparison to this years release which is 56.6%. With the higher strength, some of the flavours appear to be more intense and concentrated – as this strength lowers, the myriad of flavours are shown more readily. The palate is pepper, baking spice especially clove. The sherry notes lead to plum and dark cherry. The brine also follows the nose.Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky. Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise. The mouthfeel and texture of the whisky increases, showing off the balance of the spirit and the wood, but in a more concentrated form. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Distell, the South Africa-based owner of Bunnahabhain, says the “entirely locally sourced fuelling syst em” will support Islay’s forests and economy using wood chippings from low value timber felled on the island. They will apparently also be “restoring” peat bog and planting new trees to replace existing conifer forests. Ash from the nutrient-rich biomass fuel will be used as a natural fertiliser for the re-planted forest, creating a circular model for sustainability.
