From what I can find this cask strength version has a slightly bigger percentage of sherry casks in its recipe, compared to the standard release. The third edition of this annual small-batch release from the Islay distiller is said to pay homage to the roots of the original 12 Years Old. The unpeated spirit has been matured in a combination of first- and second-fill oloroso sherry casks and ex-bourbon casks.Another single review today, but it’s another biggie as we look at a huge release from Bunnahabhain.

Bunnahabhain is a robust and complex spirit, unpeated and oily but with sweet notes of dried fruits and cereal, and it means that the spirit can really take on the big flavour profiles that come from the full maturation in the sherry casks.”The 2022 12 Years Old Cask Strength release has been matured in first- and second-fill oloroso sherry casks – as was the first 12 Years Old Cask Strength release in 2021 – which the distillery says impart notes of "intense dried fruits and warm cinnamon spice". The new expression is bottled at 56.6% ABV.

Palate: Still quite chocolate, with raisin, sultana, and ginger in support. Hints of sea air, with toasted walnut too. This year's release has an ABV of 60.1%, compared with 56.6% in the 2022 release and 55.1% in 2021, and it is bottled non-chill filtered.The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein.

Bunnahabhain 12yo 2023 Details

I find myself enjoying this 2023 release just as much as last year’s more sherried release, but – importantly – for different reasons. This is not a repeat of the 2022. I repeat: this is not the 2022, so if you are expecting that with this, you may be either surprised or disappointed, or both. That the distillery has decided to make the 12 year old cask strength release explicitly batch variable means that we now have three very distinct drams across three years that showcase different aspects of the spirit. Whiskybase B.V.
