Bunnahabhain Fèis Ìle 2022 Limited Edition Bottlings

Bunnahabhain has unveiled three limited edition bottlings for Fèis Ìle 2022: Abhainn Araig, 1998 Calvados Cask Finish, and 2004 Moine Tokaji Cask Finish.

Bunnahabhain Abhainn Araig takes its name from the Araig River on Islay, a vital life source for the distillery. A marriage of Bunnahabhain spirit that’s been matured in ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry octave casks, it’s bottled at 50.8% ABV and described as having “a velvety rich texture, with notes of chocolate, powdered ginger and cigar box on the nose and dark toffee and spicy cinnamon on the palate.” Bunnahabhain Abhainn Araig is available at retailers across the globe, the Bunnahabhain distillery visitor center, and via the Bunnahabhain website at a suggested retail price of £95.

Bunnahabhain 1998 Calvados Cask Finish was matured for two decades on Bunnahabhain’s shores before spending the last two years of its life in French Calvados brandy casks. Bottled at 49.7% ABV, it’s described as “tawny in color, with notes of barley sugar, pear drops and toffee apples on the nose, and green apples, pear candies and toffee on the palate with a lingering floral finish.” Bunnahabhain 1998 Calvados Cask Finish is available at retailers across the globe, the Bunnahabhain distillery visitor center, and via the Bunnahabhain website at a suggested retail price of £400.

Bunnahabhain 2004 Moine Tokaji Cask Finish was produced using peated malt and finished in Hungarian Tokaji white wine casks. Bottled at 52.5% ABV, it’s described as “caramel in color with touches of white sugar, sandalwood and citrus on the nose.” The palate features “smoky vanilla pods, white chocolate, lemon zest and pear, with the sweetness of the Tokaji drops leaving notes of freshly sawn-oak wood.” Bunnahabhain 2004 Moine Tokaji Cask Finish is available exclusively at the Bunnahabhain distillery visitor center and via the Bunnahabhain website for £199.

Fèis Ìle 2022, also known as The Islay Festival, runs between Friday, May 27th and Saturday, June 4th. As part of the festival, each distillery has their own day where they put on tastings, tours, and other events.
