Bunnahabhain 46 years Eich Bhana Lir ~ This 46 year old is the oldest official Bunnahabhain bottled to date. This Whisky which carries the Gaelic name of Eich Bhana Lir, which means 'the great waves of the god Lir', refers to the ruler of the sea who used waves to wash gifts ashore. It was distilled in 1969 and aged in the distillery's Warehouse #4 in second-fill oloroso sherry butts for its entire maturation. The 46 year old single malt is stunningly presented in a handcrafted bottle designed by renowned Italian glass blowers and metalworkers to evoke the waves of the Islay sea crashing into Bunnahabhain bay. There are only 198 bottles and it is released at the natural cask strength of 41.8% ABV. Tasting Notes~ Colour: Deep Gold Nose: Complex elegant notes of leather, beeswax, candied orange peel and honey. Palate: A balance of maltiness, citrus, roasted nuts, heather honey and some gingery spice. Finish: Long and satisfying with a lingering spice. |
