Distilled on the rugged northern coast of Islay in 2009, this small-batch expression underwent an intricate double-maturation journey. The spirit spent its foundational years maturing in traditional oak barrels before being transferred for an intensive finishing residency inside premium, hand-selected French wine casks. Hand-filled into bottles in November 2021, the liquid was drawn completely un-chillfiltered at a powerful, natural cask strength of 60.0% ABV with its deep amber color intact, resulting in an exceptionally rare and heavily pursued club exclusive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"702\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"700\"\u003eBunnahabhain 2009 The Coterie Exclusive French Wine Cask Finish Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBRAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBRAA\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNose: A rich, highly expressive bouquet highlighting stewed blackcurrants, dark plums, and toasted oak, seamlessly layered with smooth vanilla bean, subtle milk chocolate, and warming baking spice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBRAA\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cbr data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-pl=\"||[]\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePalate: A remarkably silky, full-bodied, and mouth-coating texture that floods the palate with balanced layers of sweet red cherry compote, summer berries, and a thick, creamy malt base.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBRAA\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cbr data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-pl=\"||[]\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinish: An exceptionally long-lasting, grand conclusion marked by a fine line of drying French oak tannins, complex wood resins, and a final, memorable hint of lingering white pepper.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBRAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1519\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1091\"\u003eWhy Add Bunnahabhain 2009 The Coterie Exclusive French Wine Cask Finish to Your Collection?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1094\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1519\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat sets this 2009 French Wine Cask Finish apart for fine spirit collectors and investors is its beautiful structural tension between Islay maritime character and old-world European wood influence. Unlike traditional sherry or bourbon casks, finishing a robust, unpeated spirit in premium French red wine oak injects the liquid with deep berry tannins, summer fruit notes, and a complex drying wood spice. Bunnahabhain's naturally heavy, oil-rich new-make spirit handles this wine-soaked timber flawlessly, absorbing the rich tannic framework without losing its signature creamy malt base. Sourced as a strictly rationed, one-off club allocation that cleared out from the distillery vaults instantly, it holds excellent potential for long-term collection value growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bunnahabhain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51982584774944,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0232\/3232\/files\/BunnahabhainCoterie2009FrenchWineFinisha.png?v=1784068277","url":"https:\/\/whisky.estate\/products\/bunnahabhain-2009-the-coterie-exclusive-french-wine-cask-finish-single-malt-scotch-whisky-700ml","provider":"Whisky Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
