An independently bottled single malt from Islay's Bunnahabhain Distillery, aged for 30 years in a refill hogshead – from November 1990 to December 2020. After three decades of rest, it was bottled up by Douglas Laing for the Xtra Old Particular range, reserved for well-matured expressions. Just 262 bottles were produced.
The nose opens with a surprising and wonderful fruity quality, showing pear drops, lemon sherbets and fresh limes.
The palate delivers more of these citric fruits with a hint of sea salt and honey glazed ham.
The finish has us in Islay with more sea salt, burnt leather, toasted barley and a warming ginger spice.
