Bunnahabhain – 15 Year Old Oloroso Cask 2008 (70cl, 53.9%)

A 15-year-old single malt from Bunnahabhain, distilled in 2008 and bottled by Duncan Taylor under The Octave series. It was aged in an Oloroso cask and only 95 bottles were produced. The distillery sits on the north-east coast of Islay, with one of Scotland's largest mash tuns and the tallest stills on the island, giving a lighter body and more delicate profile. The whisky is sweet on the nose, with honey, caramel and stewed pears. On the palate there is fruit crumble, custard and maltiness, followed by a long, pleasant sweet and fruity finish with a touch of white pepper.
