- Description
- Bunnahabhain's single cask from October 1979 spent 25 years developing in a lone vessel, capturing Islay's unpeated character in its most contemplative form. This First Cask release offers a rare window into the distillery's maritime, mineral-driven spirit after a quarter-century of evolution.
