The Bunnahabhain 1997 Limited Release Moine PX Finish is a remarkable 22-year-old single malt whisky, meticulously distilled in 1997 and bottled in January 2020. This exceptional expression from the renowned Islay distillery, Bunnahabhain, is a standout among their predominantly unpeated releases. With only 1661 numbered bottles available, this limited edition is a treasure for whisky enthusiasts. The term 'Moine' is derived from Gaelic, meaning 'peated', and this particular release introduces a peaty dimension to the traditional Bunnahabhain profile. The whisky was aged for 19 years in traditional oak casks before being transferred to Pedro Ximenez (PX) casks in March 2016 for an additional aging period.
