Bunnahabhain 14 y.o. - Port

Bunnahabhain Distillery, located on the picturesque coast of the Isle of Islay, was founded in 1881 and is known for its unique, unpeated whiskies. The distillery originally relied on the sea trade and experienced a turning point in 1960 with the construction of a new road that improved logistics. After a brief closure in the 1930s and the last ship arrival in 1993, the road became the main supply route. In 2006, after the takeover by Burn Stewart Distillers, the brand profile was given a modern makeover. The water for the whiskies comes from chalky springs and is piped to the distillery without contact with peat, which gives the whiskies their mild, characteristic taste.

Bunnahabhain 14 Years Old Ruby Port Cask Matured Limited Release 2024 is a remarkable bottling that stays true to the distillery's signature style while offering an intriguing variation. This limited edition has been created to celebrate the prestigious Fèis Ìle, the Islay Festival of Music and Malt.

After 11 years of maturation in bourbon casks, the whisky was given a three-year finish in Ruby Port hogsheads. Originally bottled in bourbon casks on May 26, 2009 and transferred on November 17, 2020, it develops elegant aromas of ripe cherries and chocolate.
