Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: The Alistair Walker Whisky Company 70cl / 55.7%
A single cask of Bunnahabhain's peated single malt whisky, known as Staoisha, distilled in 2013 and bottled as a 9-year-old in 2023 by Alistair Walker for their Infrequent Flyers series.
This Infrequent Flyers 9-year-old Staoisha 2013 was finished in a puncheon cask 800076 that was previously home to Pedro Ximenez sherry and yielded 691 bottles at a poky 55.7%. An offbeat take on the classic smoke-and-sherry combo, this sherry-finished peated Bunnahabhain is probably not going to be the most subtle dram you taste this year, but it could well be one of the most memorable.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Colour: Mahogany.
Nose: Exotic spices mingle with peat, sweet tobacco and a touch of sea salt.
Palate: Very interesting dram. The Islay peat and phenols are there, but they are very well balanced, combining seamlessly with dark toffee, salted caramel, Demerara sugar and dry roasted peanuts. A spicy, peppery note emerges towards the end.

Yes, a lovely expression from Ardnmurchan. As young as it is (5yrs old I believe), it tastes twice its maturity!
Very well made, delicious & beautifully complex smells & flavours to savour.
Having been fortunate enough to visit Scotland’s little gem distillery twice in the past ( amongst several others) it soon became my favourite dram. This like all its predecessors is a pleasure to savour and a real treat . The only problem is the self discipline required to make the bottle last long enough and show the respect and gratitude to its makers in producing this and in my humble opinion all others from Scotland’s little gem.
