Bunnahabhain 15 Year Old 2001 (cask 11604) - Old Particular (70cl, 48.4%) ***sold***
Drawn from a single sherry butt after ageing for 15 years, this well-sherried Bunnahabhain was bottled up for the Old Particular range by Douglas Laing. This Islay single malt whisky was matured from December 2001 to March 2017 with an outturn of 611 bottles.
An austere piece of Victorian architecture on the north-east coast of Islay, Bunnahabhain is a relative outsider on the island, traditionally known for producing an un-peated single malt. The majority of this was used for blending, as was its initial intended purpose. The distillery was shut for 2 years in 1982 following the market downturn of the period, and despite being revived at low production, it was eventually officially bottled as a single malt later that decade, with the self-deprecating tag-line, "the un-pronounceable malt."
