1966 Rare Auld 36y

About

Bunnahabhain 1966 Rare Auld is a distinguished single malt whisky from the renowned Bunnahabhain distillery, located on the picturesque Islay island of Scotland. With 36 years of maturation, this expression showcases the depth and complexity that long aging can impart, making it a true collector's item. On the nose, expect rich notes of dried fruits, honey, and a subtle maritime influence that Islay whiskies are known for. The palate reveals layers of dark chocolate, caramel, and a hint of spice, followed by a long, warming finish. Bottled at 40.70% ABV, this whisky is a testament to the quality of casks used during its maturation, likely having spent time in sherry or bourbon barrels, which adds to its intricate flavor profile.
