Calling all whisky fans! We need your help…
Following the successful launch of the first release in our ‘Rare Casks Series’ we’ve been busy planning the follow up.
The Caperdonich 17 year old, I’m sure you’ll agree is an exceptional dram and therefore it’s only right that we follow this up with something special!
We’re huge Islay fans here at Abbey Whisky and so we couldn’t resist the opportunity to bottle some of the finest whisky from the bonny isle.
This is where we need your help. We’ve sampled some great cask samples over the last few months (someone has to do it) and have narrowed it down to a couple of beauties! We’d like to hear what our customers would prefer to sample next, if you had the choice between the following…
A peated Bunnahabhain, distilled in 1989 and aged in a bourbon barrel for 23 years. Natural cask strength of 44%.
Or
A Bruichladdich distilled in 1992, aged in a bourbon barrel for 20 years. Natural cask strength of 57%.
As you would expect, either dram will be bottled in its natural form, at full cask strength, without chill filtering or colour additives.
Both are wonderful drams and would certainly make for a great second release in our opinion. Rarely does an Independent bottler get the opportunity to release one of these precious whiskies from this wonderful island.
A peated Bunnahabhain or a classic Bruichladdich?
Once we’ve reached a decision we will select 3 people from those that opted for the chosen dram to receive a sample of the final release.
You can either post your thoughts here on our whisky blog, or through our Facebook & Twitter pages.

Defo the Bunna please!!
I would go for the peated Bunna, then again there are quite a few indy bottlings floating around, but are many peated?
Defo the Bruichladdich, but then again bottle both?
lol, it has crossed our minds!
You never know.
Bunna forever
think i would love to see Bunnahabhain
As a massive Bunna fan it has to be A peated Bunnahabhain, distilled in 1989 and aged in a bourbon barrel for 23 years. Natural cask strength of 44%.
Both would be great. If I had to choose, it’d be the Bunna. Young peated Bunna can be a little rough around the edges but with 23 years to round it out… might be a really good one!
I would like to vote for the Bruichladdich.
Peated Bunna!
