Production & Character
-
AâBunadhâmeaning âthe originalâ in Gaelicâis crafted exclusively from first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, bottled nonâchillâfiltered and at full cask strength with no age statement.
-
Each batch is unique. BatchâŻ79, specifically, remains rich and powerful at 60.5% ABV.
Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Opens with deep, sherry-laden aromasâmixed spices, praline, and spiced orange, all harmonizing with pronounced Oloroso tones.
-
Palate: Rich and full-bodied; layers of orange, black cherries, dried fruit, and ginger intertwine with dark bitter chocolate, sherry, and oak for a sensation both bold and creamy.
-
Finish: Long, robust, and spicyâechoes of exotic spice, dark chocolate, and oak dominate the lingering close.
Community Perspective
-
One enthusiast highlighted the striking Oloroso intensity, noting it was surprisingly smooth for such a high-proof whiskyâand dangerously easy to sip despite the heat.
âThe Oloroso cask must have been fresh because it has a very pronounced Oloroso nose and palate⊠despite its high ABV ⊠I found it to be an easy sipper.
-
However, not all batches are equally praisedâsome drinkers found BatchâŻ79 âdisappointingâŠawash with heatâŠsimple, boring profileâ lacking depth.
