- Description
- Bn8, the eighth release in Elixir Distillers' Elements of Islay series, combines American oak and ex-sherry hogsheads to create a balanced, complex Bunnahabhain. At cask strength (58.4% ABV), the spirit displays peppery spice, orchard fruit, and savoury umami notes with hints of bitter chocolate and toasted oak. The high ABV reveals layers that reward extended contemplation and time in the glass. A sophisticated dram for those seeking depth and structure in their Islay whisky.
