It was finished for 21 months in PX sherry casks from Jerez.
For the 2025 edition of its 21 Year Old Cask Strength, the Bunnahabhain distillery in Scotland has come up with something special. They’ve married their Islay spirit with sun-soaked influences from Jerez.
The whisky maker secured 21 carefully selected Pedro Ximénez casks, in which the cask strength whisky was finished for 21 months. Before that, the oily spirit had matured in ex-Oloroso casks.
The result, says distillery manager Andrew Brown, is a whisky rich in flavor.
“The luscious sweetness of Pedro Ximénez casks intertwines with our coastal spirit, creating a dram that is indulgent, complex and unmistakably Bunnahabhain.”- Andrew Brown

- Hi Yvonne, Thank you for your response and for sharing the video. Unfortunately, the evidence you referred to consists only of two people talking about the whisky, without any explanation or identification. We have not spoken to the individuals in the video ourselves, nor can we verify who they are. We describe it as a Chinese whisky because it is released by a Chinese distillery. As you mentioned, the distillery has chosen to label the product as “pure malt” instead of “Chinese whisky.” Based on that, we do not believe they are doing anything illegal.M0nkey16-11-2025
