Bunnahabhain Ruby Cask Finish(58.7%abv)

Released to celebrate Fèis Ìle 2024, this 14 Year Old limited edition was matured in Bourbon casks for 11 years then transferred into Ruby Port Hogsheads for a 3 year finish. Robust notes of cherries, dark chocolate and berries dominate, leading into a lingering, spicy finish.

At Bunnahabhain we have become renowned for our unpeated, classically sherried single malts, and this limited release is truly Bunnahabhain but with a twist. With similar characteristics to sherry, Ruby Port is packed full of candied fruit notes which impart flavours of cinnamon and plum complementing our creamy and malty Bunnahabhain spirit harmoniously.

This 14 Year Old was originally filled into Bourbon casks on the 26th of May 2009 before being transferred into Ruby Port Hogsheads on the 17th of November 2020 to finish. Bottled in 2024 at 58.7% ABV, this delectable dram delivers bold flavours of cherries and dark chocolate, with big hits of red berries that lead to a lingering and spicy finish.
