Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Cask Strength Release 2025 Edition
The Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Cask Strength 2025 Edition is a limited release that showcases the distillery’s signature unpeated Islay style at its most intense and expressive. This annual bottling is matured in a combination of first-fill, second-fill, and refill Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at its natural cask strength of 56.4% ABV. Unchill-filtered and with no added colour, it offers a pure and uncompromised expression of Bunnahabhain’s coastal spirit. The whisky pours a deep gold and opens with aromas of golden raisins, apricots, and toasted nuts, lifted by a delicate floral note. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with flavours of dried fruit, caramel, and a touch of sea salt, all wrapped in a velvety sherry sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of spice, oak, and maritime character. This 2025 edition leans slightly more into its coastal DNA than previous releases, offering a structured and balanced dram that remains true to the distillery’s elegant, unpeated house style.
Whisky Heroes Widow's Cove Caol Ila 11 Year Old 1st Fill Fino 50.4%
Whisky Heroes Widow's Cove Caol Ila 11 Year Old 1st Fill Fino is a bold, maritime‑driven Islay single malt shaped by its full maturation in a first fill Fino sherry cask. The coastal smokiness of Caol Ila meets the dry, nutty elegance of Fino, creating a whisky with both tension and harmony. Bottled at natural strength, it delivers a vivid, characterful expression that highlights the distillery’s clean peat style while adding layers of complexity from the cask. The nose opens with sea spray, lemon peel and gentle peat smoke, followed by almond, green apple and a subtle saline edge from the Fino influence. The palate is bright, smoky and textured, offering citrus oil, smoked barley, toasted nuts and a touch of white pepper, all wrapped in a dry, savoury sherry character. The finish is long, coastal and lightly briny, with lingering smoke, citrus zest and a refined nutty dryness that speaks clearly of its Fino cask heritage.
