Bunnahabhain 1988 24 years old Signatory for TWE Review

By Miguel in Tasting , Bunnahabhain

Another Signatory dram that I tasted at The Whisky Show… and another one that just two things in common with the Laphroaig: It is expensive and it is really good.

“Oh my! Oh my! This Bunnahabhain is matured to perfection and it could make you think you are drinking something ten years older. Get one now”

Bunnahabhain 1988 / 24 Year Old / Sherry #2800 / Signatory Islay Whisky
A 1988 vintage Bunnahabhain from independent bottlers Signatory as part of their Cask Strength Collection. Aged in a refill sherry butt for 24 years, the angels left this one for us to enjoy, with the cask yielding 588 bottles.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): more than average. nuts, sherry, wood, honey, powder, citrus, spices.

Palate (93): powerful, oily. nuts, powder, spices, wood, honey, citrus, cocoa.

Finish (92): longer than average. nuts, wood, citrus.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Bunnahabhain 1988 / 24 Year Old / Sherry #2800 / Signatory Islay Whisky with 92 points over 100.

I would have bought this one too but the Laphroaig really won my heart and I didn’t have so much money.
