Distilled at the iconic Bunnahabhain Distillery on Islay, this small batch single malt was crafted from just five hogsheads. Distilled in 2018 and aged for six years, it captures the island’s smoky character while showcasing a subtle complexity unique to Bunnahabhain. Named after the Staoisha water source, this expression reveals a bold, peated personality that is both audacious and refined.
The nose opens with a vibrant, chalky salinity, where gentle peat smoke intertwines with notes of green lemon and nettle, finishing with a dusting of dark chocolate. On the palate, the whisky is juicy and lively, with a zesty abundance of green lemon and salt. Hints of lightly effervescent nettle liqueur add a sparkling minerality, leading to a rich, dark chocolate note balanced with crystallized citrus zest. The finish lingers with smoky, charred notes and persistent green lemon, leaving a refined, powdery warmth.
Bottled at 48% ABV without coloring or chill filtration, this Small Batch edition offers a sophisticated introduction to Islay peat, designed to delight both new whisky enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs.
