Bunnahabhain 1998 Calvados Cask Finish
bởi Bunnahabhain
$750
A 23 year old Bunnahabhain, distilled in October 1998 and finished in ex-Calvados casks for a final two years. This release was bottled for the Feis Ile 2022, the first in-person event for over two years. We were delighted with the mix of Bunnahabhain maritime and French Calvados influence- think floral apple juice, wood shavings and pecan pie.
