A rare and compelling single cask release, the Bunnahabhain 19 Year Old “Character of Islay” (Wind & Wave Series) captures the maritime elegance and depth for which the distillery is celebrated. Distilled in 2001 and matured for nearly two decades, this whisky offers an exceptional glimpse into the softer, fruit-driven side of Islay.
 
Bottled at a powerful 56.5% ABV, this expression delivers intensity and complexity in equal measure. True to Bunnahabhain’s house style, it balances coastal influence with rich sweetness and nutty depth, showcasing layers of dried fruits, caramelised sugars, and warming spice.
 
With just 580 bottles produced, this limited single cask release is both a collector’s piece and a deeply rewarding dram for those who appreciate mature Islay whisky with elegance rather than overt smoke.
