Bunnahabhain 1989 28 Year Old Antique Lions of Spirits Butterflies is a rare single malt from the Islay region bottled as part of a decorative series. This expression, matured in a refill Sherry cask, possesses a bright, zesty quality that is uncommon at this advanced age. The nose brings warm fruit cake and tropical guava, while the palate evolves from mango to zesty grapefruit skin and green oak. The finish is long and bright, focusing on lemon and grapefruit.

The Lighter Side of Islay
Often known as the "gateway malt" for those looking to explore the smoky malts of Islay, Bunnahabhain is more lightly peated than most other whiskies produced on the island. Situated on the north-eastern coast, the distillery name means "mouth of the river" in Gaelic.
Historically noted for a waxy, oily mouthfeel, low peat levels and a hint of sea spray, Bunnahabhain have since experimented with more heavily peated drams, in-keeping with the style of their island neighbours. The youngest age statement in the core range is 12 years old while limited edition cask finishes have won the distillery awards globally.
