Description
his is a young Islay single malt whisky from Bunnahabhain, distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2025 by Single Malts of Scotland under their Small Batch series. Matured for six years in refill hogsheads, this expression is 48% ABV, non-chill filtered, with no added colour.

- Palate: Bright and energetic — salt, lime, honeyed cereal, soft oak, gentle herbal and mineral accents.
- Finish: Clean and lingering with residual smoke, citrus peel, malt sweetness and a touch of mineral salt.
