Bunnahabhain 1998

A combination of Glenmorangie’s first foray into charred virgin oak and first fill ex-bourbon barrels before an Oloroso sherry finish knits everything together and adds touches of dried fruit and almonds. A classic blend of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks gives the 1998 the most classic flavour profile in the line-up. From nosing the glass, pineapple, vanilla fudge, golden raisins and crystalised ginger all spring to mind. There is even a slight cereal note with honey, malt and lemon barley all leaping out of the glass. The texture is luscious, with a creamy, moreish-ness like vanilla yoghurt. A classic style and very enjoyable.Henrietta Gullifer, Account Manager, Berry Bros. & Rudd (April 2023)
