Unveil a majestic slice of Islay history with Bunnahabhain 44 Year Old – Single Malts of Scotland “Director’s Special.” Distilled in the mid-1970s and laid down in a solitary refill sherry butt, this unpeated spirit slumbered undisturbed beside the Sound of Islay for more than four decades before being bottled in 2020 at natural cask strength. Presented in Elixir Distillers’ elegant decanter and leather case, only 492 individually numbered bottles capture an opulent fusion of honeyed malt, polished oak and coastal freshness—an extraordinary finale for one of Islay’s most revered warehouses.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • Drawn from a single refill sherry butt after 44 years, marrying dried-fruit richness with refined coastal nuance.

  • Unpeated Bunnahabhain spirit showcases elegant Islay character: honeyed malt, gentle brine and polished oak.

  • Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural colour for undiluted texture, aroma and depth.

  • Limited to 492 bottles in the prestigious Director’s Special decanter—ideal for collectors of ultra-aged Islay malts.

  • A rare opportunity to experience four decades of quiet maturation from Bunnahabhain’s storied seaside warehouses.

Indulge in this stately Bunnahabhain and savour a seamless harmony of mature sherry opulence, coastal freshness and time-honed elegance—an unforgettable dram that lingers long after the final sip.
