Bunnahabhain 15yo (18) "Marsala Finish"  # 3061-62

Bunnahabhain 15yo "Marsala Finish" cask #3061-62

As usual with our sweet Marsala casks, maturation is quite a

gamble. While we know that certain malts are perfectly suited to

Marsala, the result in terms of influence from the wine may vary

quite a lot in a short time. We decided to blend two casks from this

batch, because the sweetly fruity intensity of one perfectly

complemented the more restrained minerality of the other: the

result is exactly how we like, with a generous presence of the

sunny and raisiny Sicilian wine but retaining most of the mineral,

malty and waxy character of the whisky. Nutty but on the sweet

side, with a touch of astringency, it is the perfect whisky for

dessert or (for the adventurous palates) to match some blue

cheese.
