This is a rare 10-year-old Fèis Ìle 2014 festival release, and it is a \"Killer Bunny\" in every sense of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eUnlike the unpeated core range, this is a heavily peated Bunnahabhain that utilizes a unique fortified wine finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eIt spent its first 9 years in ex-Bourbon casks before a final 1-year finish in Marsala wine casks.

It spent its first 9 years in ex-Bourbon casks before a final 1-year finish in Marsala wine casks. Hand-signed by then-Distillery Manager Andrew Brown and Master Distiller Ian MacMillan, only 632 bottles were ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e A powerful maritime arrival. Brine and sea spray collide with sweet peat smoke and vanilla flan. There’s a spicy undercurrent of crushed black pepper and cinnamon gum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e The attack is peppery and oily. The heavy peat is beautifully integrated with the Marsala influence, offering notes of fortified wine, red fruit jam, and creamy fudge. It develops into a savory layer of leather and salty Dutch licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Long and warming. Lingering notes of sweet ash, caramelized biscuits (Speculoos), and a final maritime sea-breeze kick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhy this bottle is special\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Marsala \"Bridge\":\u003c\/b\u003e Marsala is a rare choice for peated whisky. It provides a specific nutty, oxidative sweetness that bridges the gap between the medicinal smoke and the creamy bourbon-cask DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Decade of Maturation:\u003c\/b\u003e Having been bottled in 2014, this spirit comes from a specific era of production at Bunnahabhain. It represents the \"re-awakening\" of the distillery’s peated experiments that have now become legendary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExtreme Rarity:\u003c\/b\u003e With only 632 bottles released over 11 years ago, this is one of the harder-to-find Fèis Ìle bottles.
