Tasting Notes

Nose: Sea-spray toffee and salted caramel mingle with raisin loaf, orange marmalade and polished antique oak, underpinned by hints of walnut shell and cocoa. Palate: Silky waves of fig jam, treacle pudding and sweet malt glide across the tongue, followed by clove-spiced chocolate, roasted hazelnut and a soft citrus lift. Finish: Long, warming and gently dry—lingering sherry-soaked fruitcake, mellow oak tannin and a final flourish of briny caramel.

Explore Islay’s unpeated side in opulent fashion with Bunnahabhain 23 Year Old – 2001 Vintage, Signatory Symington’s Choice. Distilled on the Sound of Islay and nurtured for over two decades in a single 1st-fill Oloroso sherry butt (#1436), this limited release was drawn in April 2025 at natural cask strength. Only 540 individually numbered bottles exist, each non-chill-filtered and natural in colour. The long slumber in fresh Spanish oak marries Bunnahabhain’s honey-malt and coastal brine with deep layers of dried fruit, cocoa and warming spice—delivering a rich, full-bodied dram worthy of the Symington name.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

Entirely matured in a vibrant 1st-fill Oloroso sherry butt, layering decadent dried-fruit richness over Bunnahabhain’s maritime malt.
23 years of ageing strike a sublime balance between coastal freshness and luxurious sherry depth.
Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural colour for full texture, aroma and authenticity.
Part of Signatory’s hand-picked Symington’s Choice series—only 540 bottles, making it a prized find for collectors and sherried-Islay aficionados.

Savour this distinguished Bunnahabhain for an unforgettable harmony of sea-borne elegance and Oloroso opulence—an extraordinary dram from first nosing to lingering finish.

The Distillery

Bunnahabhain Distillery, founded in 1881 on the northeastern tip of the Isle of Islay, sits by Bunnahabhain Bay, overlooking the Sound of Islay. Originally constructed with materials ferried by puffer and unloaded at the distillery pier, it’s now tucked away at the end of a single-track road with spectacular coastal views. Equipped with four large, pear-shaped stills, Bunnahabhain produces Scottish malt whisky for both blends and single malt or single caskbottlings. A proud participant in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music, the distillery’s core releases—including Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old and Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old—reflect its commitment to craftsmanship and the Islay whisky tradition.
