Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old
70cl
By rebranding the whisky, and bottling at a higher strength without filtration Bunnahabhain has gone from an also ran to a serious contender for many connoiseurs. The 18 year old packs a serious punch given its low peating levels, what really stands out are some glorious Sherry cask flavours and a savoury/meaty/salty character. This is great stuff.
