Bunnahabhain Staoisha 2013, a 10-year-old bottling from Signatory Vintage, is part of the 100 Proof Series and matured exclusively in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks. With an alcohol content of 57.1%, bottled without chill filtration, this heavily peated Islay Single Malt promises an intense tasting experience.
Bunnahabhain is best known for its unpeated whiskies, but the Islay distillery also occasionally produces a peated whisky known as Staoisha. Distilled in 2013, this edition has spent 10 years maturing in a series of first-fill Oloroso sherry casks and now joins the 100 Proof Edition from Signatory, appropriately bottled at the old-fashioned 100 proof, 57.1% ABV.
Nose: Intense smoke with big waves of iodine, peppermint, and earthy smoke, supported by meaty malt, pressed apples, and butter biscuits.
Palate: Rich, smoldering ash, charcoal, smoky oak, and burnt biscuits dominate at first, before syrupy flapjack, cocoa, and anise develop over time.
Finish: A touch of candied smoked bacon, oily smoked nuts, and clove.
