- Description
- Bunnahabhain's heavily peated expression was initially matured in American oak, then finished in casks previously holding Marsala wine, adding dark fruit and spice complexity. Bottled at 50.5% ABV, this unusual peat-forward release from the unpeated Islay distillery demonstrates their experimental range.
