Bunnahabhain – 30 Year Old Cask Type – 1x Refill Sherry Butt + 1x Refill American Oak Hogshead – 48.5%Vol On nosing, a warm fresh marine breeze is very evident and it lifts the oak gently to reveal the subtle sherry aromas. The richness of the oak, the succulent flavours of the Oloroso Sherry and the spicy vanilla from the bourbon make this spirit so amazingly viscous in texture that it lingers long on the palate.
