- Description
- Hunter Laing's 2024 release of this 1991 Bunnahabhain marks the opening of a single refill hogshead after 32 years, yielding just 103 cask-strength bottles for the Old & Rare Platinum collection. Aged entirely in refill wood, this expression avoids heavy cask dominance in favour of revealing the distillery's pure spirit character. The extended maturation has allowed subtle complexity and integration to develop throughout the spirit and wood. A remarkable snapshot of a specific moment in Bunnahabhain's history, ideal for collectors and those studying the effects of ultra-long refill cask maturation.
