Bunnahabhain also features older vintage releases, highlighting the exceptional quality of aged whiskies from its warehouses. A marriage of three peated drams including an Oloroso Finish, Bourbon Matured and Rum Finish, it has flavours reminiscent of rum and raisin ice cream, our Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez's, favourite!
