WHOLE LOTTA ROSÉ, 7 YEAR OLD PEATED BUNNAHABHAIN STAOISHA, RED WINE
Whole Lotta Rosé is a bold, heavily peated Bunnahabhain, fully matured in fresh, first fill red wine barriques. It is an unlikely pairing that works, fragrant peat and oak folding into summer berries and spice, wrapped in a natural rosé hue drawn directly from the wood.
Distilled in 2019 and bottled February 2026, this 7 year old single malt is bottled at a powerful 55% ABV with minimal intervention for depth and texture. The red wine barrique maturation adds richness, fruit, and oak spice without masking the distillery character, keeping Bunnahabhain’s peated spirit, often called Staoisha, front and centre.
Distillery profile, Bunnahabhain
- Established in 1881 on Islay’s north eastern coast, built alongside the village created for distillery workers.
- The name Bunnahabhain is Gaelic for mouth of the river, tied to its coastal setting and water source.
- Best known for unpeated releases, but the distillery also produces a peated style often referenced as Staoisha, showing smoke with maritime lift.
- Coastal maturation and a naturally weighty spirit can carry peat and cask influence without losing clarity.
Cask profile, first fill red wine barriques
First fill red wine barriques tend to push bright berry fruit, gentle tannin, and a spicy oak grip, often adding a rosier hue and a lightly drying snap. With peated spirit, that structure can sharpen the smoke, turning it fragrant rather than heavy, and pulling fruit forward without turning syrupy.
Here, the red wine influence is full term maturation, not a quick finish, so the integration reads as smoked fruit, sweet oak, and a lingering coastal edge.
