We've independently bottled an absolutely cracking 33-year-old Bunnahabhain single malt! It was distilled on the Isle of Islay all the way back in August 1982 and left to mature in a refill sherry cask for over three decades before we got our hands on it and bottled it up in December 2015!
Two scoops of salted caramel ice cream and a scoop of mint-choc-chip too. Pithy orange, rye warmth and a hint of rock pools.
Continues to be packed with rye and caramel, with heaps of fresh orange behind it. Notes of old leather and oak follow it up.
Orchard fruit lasts, with touches of sweet coffee too.

Absolutely amazing! Get your hands on a bottle if you can, I suspect there aren't many around, great as an investment as well.
Agree with the leather reviewer - but I get a load of delicious tropical fruit in here too. Feels like there might even have been a touch of peat left in the cask from the previous fill.
Sorry to disagree, but this is one of the most enjoyable Bunnahabhains I've had in quite a while - sweetness and leather really shine through for me, and it works.
I was really looking forward to this dram. But it was not as good as hoped for. Some light fruit in de nose and taste. The finish was very short. Maby the cherried bunna's are better. I have the standard xxv, which is imho much better!
