- Description
- This 1990s-era Bunnahabhain represents Islay single malt before the distillery's shift toward heavily peated expressions, offering a rarer glimpse of the distillery's unpeated house style. Aged 12 years in ex-bourbon casks, expect briny, maritime notes with underlying orchard fruit character.
