Whisky 1980 Canasta

Bunnahabhain was once ruled by the sea; until 1960, all our deliveries arrived by boat.

Today, the waves bring a very different cargo – crew and passengers venturing ashore, often from stunning ocean-going yachts. Their destination: our famously welcoming Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky.

The 1980 Canasta Cask Finish breathed in our briny coastal air for almost four decades, first in casks that held oloroso sherry, then in perfectly sweet Canasta sherry oak — the very essence of our coastal distillery.

• Nose: Tropical fruits (pineapple, banana), berries, creamy toffee, caramelised nuts, vanilla, and sweet, delicate oak.
• Palate: Creamy caramel, sweet malt, vanilla, creamy berries, toasted nuts, and faint citrus.
• Finish: Long, sweet, and fruity, with lingering nutty notes and subtle coastal influences
