BUNNAHABHAIN 33 ans 1991 American Hogshead Connoisseurs Choice Upper Gordon & Macphail

This Bunnahabhain, distilled in 1991, matured for 33 years in American hogshead casks before being bottled at its natural strength of 47.50%. This single malt from the island of Islay has a fruity and smooth profile, opening with notes of pear, peach, and apricot. Bunnahabhain is a Scottish distillery located on the Isle of Islay, founded in 1881. Unlike most distilleries on the island, it stands out for producing whiskies that are lightly peated or not peated at all. Crafted using pure spring water and often matured in sherry casks, its expressions offer soft, fruity, and slightly salty aromas. Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old is a great example, renowned for its balance and depth. Created in 1968 by whisky visionary Mr George Urquhart, the Connoisseurs Choice range includes over 2,000 bottlings from around 100 Scottish distilleries. Each Connoisseurs Choice whisky tells its own story through its label: cask type, bottling date, ABV, vintage, and tasting notes. Always non-chill-filtered, these rare expressions — either single cask or small batch — reflect Gordon & MacPhail’s unique expertise in matching spirit with oak, a skill passed down through four generations of the same family.
