From the rugged shores of Islay, Ferg & Harris presents a limited edition Bunnahabhain single malt finished in Sauternes barriques. Distilled in February 2009 and bottled at a robust 54.7% ABV, this 14-year-old whisky captures the elemental spirit of Scotland’s north coast with a rich, antique gold hue. Crafted in a release of only 281 bottles, it reflects both the maritime climate of its origin and the indulgent sweetness drawn from French dessert wine casks.

On the nose, it opens with a smoky haze reminiscent of a seaside smokehouse, quickly unfolding into layers of maple-glazed bacon and roasted nuts. A full-bodied palate offers savoury richness, touched by syrupy sweetness and a teasing spice, grounded by a saline edge that mirrors the distillery’s proximity to the sea. The influence of Sauternes adds a honeyed depth, weaving through the bold, peated core of Bunnahabhain with unexpected finesse.

Enjoyed neat, this cask-strength dram rewards a slow approach, delivering a concentrated, multi-sensory experience. Its finish may come swiftly, but it leaves behind a lingering trail of coastal salt, sweet resin, and spice. A compelling fusion of Islay tradition and continental elegance, this expression is ideal for seasoned Scotch drinkers seeking something distinct, rare, and unapologetically flavorful.
