2013 Staoisha (Bunnahabhain) 11 Year Old “Signatory” K&L Exclusive 1st Fill Hogshead Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

$99.99

Bunnahabhain has always been Islay’s quiet outlier, a distillery founded in 1881 at the “mouth of the river” on the island’s far northeast shore, where a purpose-built village grew up around the stillhouse and, for decades, the only practical access was by sea. That remoteness helped preserve a house style that feels unmistakably coastal yet often avoids the heavy peat that defines many of its neighbors. In a single cask, that personality gets turned up to high resolution: the maritime lift, the oily weight paired with dense dark sherry, creating that unmistakable tension of salty malt and Jerez rancio. The distillery’s famously wide neck stills and large onion base create an undeniably unique spirits, which always seems to shine even through the most active sherry cask. This beautiful butt of Bunnahabhain was selected by the K&L Buying team in the Spring of 2025. It was filled into a a 1st fill Oloroso sherry butt on May 28th of 2012 and bottled on August 18th of 2025 at a natural cask strength of 128.6 proof. We’re extremely grateful to our dear friends at Signatory for finding these special gems and offering them to us at such reasonable prices. Very few other bottlers have so consistently offered such a high quality single malt than the good people at Signatory.
