Description

For more than 40 years, Silvano Samaroli has been bottling and releasing high quality whiskies under the Samaroli and Coilltean International labels. Over the years he has developed a reputation for selecting only the finest examples of single malt whisky and rum; becoming one of the first bottlers to actively promote cask strength whisky as well as hailing the benefits of bottle ageing. This Bunnahabhain was matured in single butt #7229 for 40 years and bottled by Masam in 2019. The Silvano's Collection label is produced by Masam, an independent bottling company run by Maryse Accorsi Samaroli, the wife of the legendary Silvano Samaroli.

Nose
Deep and elegant with polished oak, beeswax and an old library character. Behind that sits ripe fruit in a restrained, mature register, think dried apricot, orange peel and a hint of stewed apple. Salty sea air and minerality add tension, with nutty notes, soft tobacco and a touch of cocoa showing age without bitterness.
Palate
Full and silky with a concentrated core. Ripe fruit and dried citrus are carried by waxy oils, nuts and gentle sweet spice. The oak reads as structure rather than dryness, with impressions of tea, leather and old herbal tones. The full proof strength mainly adds texture and length, never turning loud.
Finish
Very long and slowly fading. Nuts, cocoa and soft tobacco first, then salinity, dried fruit and an elegant, lightly drying oak note. Everything stays composed, with the kind of calm, lingering depth you hope for at this age.
