Tasting Notes
Imagine taking a bite into a freshly baked cinnamon roll, the buttery dough melting in your mouth, while notes of dark chocolate and tart cranberries tantalize your taste buds. That's the essence of the Bunnahabhain 13 Year Old 2008 - Benchmark (Murray McDavid) whisky. Distilled in 2008 at the Bunnahabhain distillery, this exceptional single malt spent the final two years of its 13-year maturation in a Margaux Bordeaux wine cask, imparting a unique and complex flavor profile. On the nose, you'll detect the alluring aromas of buttered malt loaf, toasted nuts, and floral barley. The palate is a delightful interplay of cinnamon pastries, jammy fruit, berries, and layers of mouthcoating malt and sweet baking spice. The finish lingers with hints of poached stone fruits, floral tea, and oily oak. Only 383 bottles of this exquisite whisky were independently released by Murray McDavid for the Benchmark collection in 2022, making it a true gem for whisky connoisseurs.
