89/ 100Very good

This is a very old Islay single malt whisky from Bunnahabhain, distilled in 1980 and released at 45 years of age. As a single-cask bottling, it represents one individual cask rather than a larger batch, so its character is likely to be distinctive.

Very good review score, 89 out of 100
A delicate, unique Bunnahabhain with peach candy, salted plums, citrus and herbal tea, held together by prominent but aromatic rather than tannic oak.
