Description
A Rare Single Cask Expression from the Shores of Islay
Adelphi Selection is one of Scotland’s most respected independent bottlers, known for sourcing exceptional casks and bottling them without compromise — at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered, and without added color. This Bunnahabhain 1998 24 Year is a testament to that philosophy: a single cask whisky drawn from the legendary Islay distillery, aged for over two decades into something truly extraordinary. Bunnahabhain, known for its unusually unpeated character among Islay malts, offers a rich, maritime complexity that only deepens with time.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Dried fruits, sherry-soaked oak, sea salt, and a whisper of brine — layered with dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and aged leather
- Palate: Rich and full-bodied with waves of raisins, toffee, and walnut, balanced by a gentle coastal salinity and warming spice
- Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark fruit, oak tannins, and a subtle maritime minerality
