Bunnahabhain Fèis Ìle 2024 Ruby Port Cask Finish 14yr Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 2009

If you can't make it to the annual festival on Islay in May, then this is the next best thing. The annuall bottlings that the iconic producers on this 'whisky island' make and unveil during the festivities are always one off idiosyncratic creations that become some of the most sought after single malts of the year. Thankfully Bunnahabhain has begun releasing tiny amounts of their annual expression beyond the confides of Islay and we have a limited amount to share with you. The spirit for this year's release was originally distilled on May 25th, 2009, right around the time of the annual festival, and aged in ex-bourbon before being transferred to Ruby Port casks in November 17th, 2020 for almost 4 years of extended aging, an eternity in the world of cask finishes. Bottled at a natural cask strength, non-chill filtered and no colouring the whisky is brimming with dark berries, allspice, rich honey, and crsip toasted malt notes.
