Arran 1996 25 Year Old Cask #905 UK Exclusive
This rare first-fill sherry cask was matured on the Isle of Arran for 25 years, before being bottled exclusively for the UK. Intense notes of dark chocolate and orange oil followed by roasted caramel give this outstanding Single Malt a rich and luxurious mouthfeel. Long lasting and memorable on the finish
Bunnahabhain 1989 The Octave 30 Year Old 47.8%
Distilled in 1989 at the Bunnahabhain distillery and rested for 30 years in oak casks and bottled in 2019. 1 of only 60 bottles. Cask number #380029 For upwards of 40 years the team at Duncan Taylor have experimented by maturing whiskies in smaller casks with great success. Their research stemmed from the simple premise that there is more wood interaction with the whisky over a shorter period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, therefore allowing a more rapid melding of wood, air and alcohol. After a second maturation the octave casks have refined the whisky, enhancing its hue, taste, form and character. The flavour profile is gently expanded, a little more sophisticated with the commanding presence of a mature, well balanced Scotch Whisky.
