  • About The Product

    This exceptionally rare release comes from The Single Malts of Scotland Director’s Special range, a series reserved for the most distinguished casks in their portfolio. Distilled at the Bunnahabhain distillery on Islay in 1989 and aged for 32 years, this whisky has spent over three decades in carefully selected oak casks before being bottled in 2021 at its natural strength of 48.3% ABV.

    Bunnahabhain is renowned for producing a gentler, less heavily peated Islay style, and this long maturation amplifies the distillery’s elegant, maritime character. Extended time in oak has imparted layers of richness and complexity, balancing subtle coastal notes with deep wood influence and a refined texture. Bottled without chill-filtration or added color, it is presented in its purest form, allowing the spirit’s full depth and nuance to shine.

    As part of the Director’s Special series, only a very limited number of bottles were drawn from this single cask, making it highly collectible. Each bottle is presented with distinctive packaging that reflects both the prestige of the series and the rarity of the whisky itself.

    This Bunnahabhain 32 Year Old is a testament to patience, craftsmanship, and the artistry of long-term maturation—an Islay whisky of extraordinary finesse, designed for connoisseurs and collectors alike.

    Taste Profile & Food Pairings

    Tasting Notes

    Long maturation has given this Bunnahabhain a deeply layered character. The nose opens with polished oak, beeswax, dried figs, and toasted almonds, followed by subtle coastal brine and old leather. On the palate, it shows remarkable balance — rich sherry-soaked raisins, orange peel, dark chocolate, and roasted hazelnuts, underpinned by gentle maritime salinity and soft tobacco. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of spiced fruit cake, walnut oil, and a whisper of sea breeze.

    Food Pairings

    For a starter, foie gras on toasted brioche or seared scallops with a light citrus glaze bring out the whisky’s sweetness and coastal brine. As a main course, roast duck with orange reduction or braised short ribs in a red wine jus echo its layers of citrus, chocolate and oak. With cheese, aged Comté or Gruyère highlight its nutty richness, while a bold Stilton creates a striking contrast against the dried fruit and sherry notes. To finish, a dark chocolate tart with sea salt or a slice of spiced fruitcake mirrors its depth and extends the whisky’s lingering elegance.
