Bunnahabhain - the Octave - exclusive to Malts and More

Exclusive bottling of an Octave Casks for Malts and More.
Octave barrels have just a content of about 45-68 liters, with the result that a single barrel bottling does not produce many bottles - in this case, just 71 bottles.
Due to the small size of the Octave barrels, a whiskey can not spend long maturation here, the influence of the wood and its aromas is too big - "too much whiskey has too much contact with the barrel".

The bunnahabhain matured for 13 years in a bourbon cask, then the whiskey came for another three months in a sherry octave cask.

The result is an exceptional Bunnahabhain, with a slight peat note, a little smoke and fruit and - unusual for a Bunnahabhain - with a lot of "Islay-character":
Sweet aromas of melon, light smoke, lime and walnut.
In the taste honey, ashes, peat, apple, cinnamon and "spiced" oranges.
