[ST] Feature Icons

At Bunnahabhain we have become renowned for our unpeated, classically sherried single malts, and this limited release is just that, and more. An experimental combination of some of the best sherry cask finishes from Bunnahabhain - Amontillado, Manzanilla and Oloroso – results in a complex and robust whisky.

Distilled in 1999, the spirit was then transferred into a trio of sherry casks: Amontillado casks on the 4th of November 2009, Oloroso casks on the 20th of June 2011 and Manzanilla casks on the 12th of September 2016. Skilfully married by our Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez, and bottled at a cask strength of 53.3% ABV, the flavours reveal themselves in a journey of discovery with each sip. The result is an exceptional burst of sherry with notes of creamy fudge, vanilla pods and a hint of tobacco.

SUSTAINABILITY

We are delighted to announce that we have won the Sustainable Development of the Year Award at the Scottish Green Energy Awards 2022 for our Biomass Energy Centre.

Funded and owned by AMP Clean Energy and developed, built and operated by Dallol Energy, our energy centre will result in the first Net Zero distillation process on Islay. Completed in 2022, it is fuelled with a mix of spent process malt (draff) and local woody biomass.

The clean burn biomass boiler is one of the cleanest systems in Europe and whisky’s first example of three zoned biomass combustion coupled with NOx reduction technology. It saves 5500 tonnes of carbon emissions a year, representing a reduction of 95% over oil.

It creates a new forest economy and employment on the island. The need for woody biomass fuel provides a local market for low value biomass that helps finance the export of premium sawlogs, a largely uneconomic prospect up to now. During construction, Islay contractors supplied the groundworks, civil engineering and most of the electrics. The plant manager is also an Islay resident. 

The project has improved biodiversity and wildlife habitats through replanting unmanaged conifer forest with hard and soft wood and peat bog is restored to its natural state. Wood ash will be used as forest fertiliser creating circular sustainability. New planting is planned near the distillery helping achieve Scotland’s ambitious afforestation targets.
