- Description
- Bunnahabhain's 1988 vintage spent 27 years in cask, emerging as a refined unpeated Islay single malt at 44.9% ABV. Coastal minerals and sea spray mingle with red fruits and raspberry, lifted by a whisper of lemon acidity. The palate is delicate and dry, with restrained sweetness and a persistent maritime finish. An elegant expression for those who appreciate subtlety over smokiness.
