Review of
Claxton's Dalswinton Series Bunnahabhain
33 Year Old, an elegant, full bodied,
sumptuousness mature sherry rich dram.
 Claxton's
Dalswinton Series Bunnahabhain 33 Year Old is
one of five whiskies in Claxton's second
batch of releases in their Dalswinton
Series.
All the the whiskies in this release
have been distilled at a renowned
coastal Scotch whisky distillery, this
one was distilled at Bunnahabhain on the Isle of
Islay and was matured for 33 years in a
Oloroso Sherry Cask before being bottled
at 48.6% ABV and only 100 bottles were
drawn from the cask.
Bunnahabhain Distillery stands apart
from its Islay counterparts, it is well
known for crafting unpeated yet richly
full-bodied whisky although they do
produce some peated whisky but not on
this occasion. This unpeated
Bunnahabhain 33 Year Old, matured over
decades and is said to showcase the
distillery’s signature complexity and
character.
The bottle's etching illustrates the
Roman fort that once stood on the banks
of the River Nith. Built in 80 AD, this
large fort, located within the
present-day Dalswinton Estate, housed
over 2,000 Roman infantry and cavalry.
It was one of the northernmost Roman
outposts of its kind.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: A
sumptuous mix of enticing sherried
raisin, sugared almond and apple with a
slightly salted hazelnut edge and a
touch of vanilla.
Taste: Deliciously juicy sherry
infused mature oak tannins leads with
burnt raisin and orange which is
balanced by some apple and plum. A
little sweet toffee and vibrant sweet
oak spice lightly coated in milk
chocolate.
Finish: The
fruity sherried sweetness bitters out
first followed by the oak tannins, a
slight mocha, a touch of late cinnamon
and a lingering mildly drying gentle oak
spiciness.
Comment:
There really is a fantastic nose on this
lovely sherry oak mature Bunnahabhain
and the deliciously juicy sherry and
mature oak on the palate does not
disappoint. An elegant, full bodied,
sumptuous
mature sherry rich dram.
