About this deal

Bunnahabhain is a robust and complex spirit, unpeated and oily but with sweet notes of dried fruits and cereal, and it means that the spirit can really take on the big flavour profiles that come from the full maturation in the sherry casks.” Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates.

Some punchy spice at this strength, the sherry influence is of course prominent, plus toffee and cinnamon. But there’s also a chalkiness punching through the sherry, which might some it might come across as oakiness to someone else. To me, it’s not present in the standard 12 year old. Her second trip, my first. My pilgrimage, you might say. Long a devout follower of Bunnahabhain, I was finally making my way to the holy of holies to pay homage. And to partake in the imbibing of some divine nectar. From what I can find this cask strength version has a slightly bigger percentage of sherry casks in its recipe, compared to the standard release. This year's release has an ABV of 60.1%, compared with 56.6% in the 2022 release and 55.1% in 2021, and it is bottled non-chill filtered. Interested in trying drams like these?

Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. But there’s batch variation for sure, and that’s what, many of you dear Dramface readers, may be more interested in. How does this compare to last year’s 2022 sherry belter, or 2021’s first release?

The 2021 is good, but the 2022 is great.If you bought the 2021 edition and were disappointed, the 2022 is what you were hoping for.It’s what I was.It’s very close to the standard 12 dialled up.If you place drams of the 2021 and the 2022 next to the standard 46% 12 year old, right away you’ll group the 2022 and the standard 12 Glencairns together with the 2021 as the outlier. On the palate we’re getting blood orange juice, tobacco, orange peel, walnuts, and notes of sherry soaked raisins.

I find myself enjoying this 2023 release just as much as last year’s more sherried release, but – importantly – for different reasons. This is not a repeat of the 2022. I repeat: this is not the 2022, so if you are expecting that with this, you may be either surprised or disappointed, or both. That the distillery has decided to make the 12 year old cask strength release explicitly batch variable means that we now have three very distinct drams across three years that showcase different aspects of the spirit. Bunnahabhain master blender Julieann Fernandez said: “I’m really proud of this year’s 12 Year Old Cask Strength release. Even bigger and even bolder than its predecessors, with an ABV of 60.1%, it epitomises everything that Bunnahabhain is known for: unpeated, sherried and full of intense flavour, offering big hits of roasted nuts and cinnamon spice in every dram.

Another single review today, but it’s another biggie as we look at a huge release from Bunnahabhain.Published in print 8 times each year, Whisky Magazine is the perfect drinking companion for all who enjoy the water of life.
