The 2025 release of Bunnahabhain’s 12 Year Old Cask Strength is a true celebration of the distillery’s unpeated Islay style. Matured on the wild north-eastern coastline of Islay and shaped by its pure spring water and shifting coastal climate, this single malt captures the very essence of its island home. Bottled at a bold 56.4% ABV, it delivers the classic sherry influence that defines Bunnahabhain’s house character.
Predominantly matured in second-fill Oloroso sherry casks, this annual cask-strength release showcases a beautifully nuanced profile where coastal malt, subtle sherry richness and refined spice shine through.
The nose opens with rich aromas of golden raisins and sun-ripened apricots, balanced by toasted nuts and a delicate floral lift. On the palate, malty sweetness and soft oak weave together with dried fruit, sultanas, and hazelnuts, while a gentle spice adds warmth and depth. The finish is long and satisfying, carrying notes of oak spice and light tobacco with a final whisper of sea salt and cocoa powder.
