Description

Now, see? This is how we tend to like our Islay whiskies: matured in refill casks. A bit less oak and a bit more Islay. This Bunnahabhain Staoisha is for the lover of big smoke bombs. Never fear though, there’s vanilla sweetness and an almond-like nuttiness that keeps the smoke in check.
