Discovery Bunnahabhain 11YO

Gordon & MacPhail is a historic Scottish whisky company founded in 1895 in Elgin and is widely regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious independent bottlers of Scotch whisky, known for sourcing spirit from many distilleries, maturing it in their own casks for long periods, and releasing rare and highly sought-after single malts that often don’t appear in official distillery ranges.

Discovery is an approachable range designed to explore Scotch whisky styles. Discovery bottlings focus on flavor profiles such as bourbon-matured, sherry-matured, or smoky whiskies, offering an easy introduction to different cask types and regions at an accessible price point.

A mellow Islay single malt with a sherry‑matured heart, it greets the nose with rich dried fruit, orange marmalade and creamy vanilla toffee, underscored by gentle spice and soft orchard sweetness; the palate is smooth and approachable, offering chewy dates, stewed plums and warming cinnamon with subtle walnut undertones, while the finish lingers on milk chocolate, dried fruit and light nutty hints, making it a friendly yet layered dram that bridges sweet sherry influence with Bunnahabhain’s coastal character.
