The Bunnahabhain 1989, bottled in 2023 by Gordon & Macphail, is a rare gem in the realm of Scotch whisky, enveloping the palate in a unique sensory experience thanks to its 32 years of aging. Originating from the remote island of Islay, renowned for its characterful whiskies, this distillate is an extraordinarily refined edition in the Upper Range collection of Gordon & Macphail.

This expression displays a deep amber color, the result of a long rest in oak barrels which endow the whisky with depth and complexity. On the nose, the Bunnahabhain 1989 releases intense aromas of ripe fruit, with hints of dried plums and dates, enriched by nuances of dark chocolate and sweet spices such as cinnamon and clove.

On the palate, this whisky is extraordinarily balanced; the sweet notes of malt blend harmoniously with hints of toffee and vanilla, followed by a slight peatiness that does not overpower but rather accentuates the complexity of the taste. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant aftertaste of bitter cocoa and a slight pinch of sea salt, typical of Islay distillates.

The Bunnahabhain 1989 enchants with its elegance and velvety maturity, ideal to be savored alone, preferably in a quiet setting, to fully appreciate the richness of its aromas and sophisticated evolution in the mouth. An excellent choice for lovers of fine whiskies, in search of a memorable and intensely rewarding experience. A true masterpiece for the collection that amplifies the craftsmanship of Gordon & Macphail in selecting and offering whiskies of exceptional quality.
