Long and complex where the nuttiness lingers the longest on the tongue.

The contents of these two casks were blended by Fernandez to arrive at the 12-year-old whisky, a result the master blender is proud of: "I'm really proud of this year's 12-year-old cask strength release. It's even bigger and bolder than its predecessors, with an ABV of 60.1%, and embodies everything Bunnahabhain is known for: unripened, sherried and full of intense flavour, with big its of roasted nuts and cinnamon spices in every dram."
