- Description
- Bunnahabhain's 40-year-old expression represents the distillery's rarest and most contemplative bottling, drawn from carefully selected warehouse casks. At 41.9% ABV, decades of maturation have created a rich, deep spirit layered with dried fruit, polished wood, and subtle maritime salt. The texture is sumptuous and warming, with a finish that unfolds gradually. A landmark whisky best reserved for special occasions and serious collectors of aged Islay.
