Score: 94 Points

This Feis Ile release from Bunnahabhain was finished in a combination of Amontillado, Manzanilla, and Oloroso Sherry casks, and the result is a single malt with a strong Sherry influence on the nose and touches of figs, dates, plums, raisins, and dark chocolate. The taste is Sherry-influenced with a hint of figs, dates, orange marmalade, honey, and vanilla. The finish is long and dry with a hint of tobacco leaf. Excellent! (January, 2025)
