Tasting Notes
Bunnahabhain 23 Year Old 1998 Calvados Cask Finish is a truly extraordinary single malt Scotch whisky that will captivate your senses. Distilled in 1998 and meticulously matured for two decades, this expression underwent a final finishing period in Calvados casks, a rare and intriguing touch. The nose is a delightful harmony of barley sugar, pear drops, and toffee apples, followed by a burst of dates and a floral note reminiscent of conifer trees. On the palate, it's a delightful dance of sweetness and fruitiness, with green apple and pear candies taking center stage, complemented by Bunnahabhain's signature cereal notes and a hint of oily richness, all intertwined with toffee and dried fruits. The finish is a delightful contrast of spicy power and floral elegance, leaving a lasting impression. Bottled at a robust 49.7% ABV, this is a truly exceptional dram that showcases the mastery of Islay's Bunnahabhain Distillery and the unique influence of Calvados casks.
