Abhainn Araig is a marriage of Bunnahabhain spirit that has been matured in ex-Bourbon casks and ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry, octave casks, made from the finest specially seasoned European oak.
These highly concentrated Octave casks were hand-selected to push the boundaries of sherry maturation. Not all whiskies stand up to full maturation in sherry casks, let alone specially seasoned octaves. Bunnahabhain, however, really stands up to this challenge.
This special, limited festival whisky is quintessentially 'Bunnahabhain' - unpeated, sherried, bold and complex. Bottled with natural colour, non-chillfiltered and with an abv of 50.8%.
An Interesting Fact
This was actually the first whisky that Master Distiller, Brendan McCarron, tasted when he joined Bunnahabhain in 2021 on his first visit to the distillery following his appointment!
Aroma: Barley sugar, pear drops, toffee apples. Followed by a burst of dates and a floral top note like conifer trees.
Taste: Sweet and fruity, lots of green apple and pear candies. Some signature cereal, oily notes of Bunnahabhain and more toffee mixed with dried fruits.
Finish: Spicy powerful then floral on the palate.
