Special features: This limited single malt whisky was distilled in 2014 at the Bunnahabhain Distillery on Islay and initially matured in oak barrels. For the last months of its maturation, it received a finish in a small ex-Oloroso sherry octave cask, which gives it additional depth and complexity. It was bottled in 2024 at cask strength with an alcohol content of 53.6%, without chill filtration and without coloring. The bottling is limited to only 98 bottles, making it a coveted rarity for collectors and connoisseurs.

• Finish: Long-lasting and smoky, with a hint of oak and a pleasant sweetness in the background.
