- Description
- Distilled in 1968 and selected for the Board of Directors' Family Silver series, this 30-year-old represents Bunnahabhain at its most prestigious and rare. At 40% ABV, six decades of bottle age have mellowed the distillery's signature oiliness into a subtle, complex profile balanced between fruit, wood, and mineral notes. The texture is silky and delicate, with a gentle, lingering finish. A collector's piece reflecting the distillery's standing within Highland Distilleries during its golden era.
