malt.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nBunnahabhain 2004 Moine Brandy Finish is bottled at 55.7% and has been finished in brandy casks, a first for the island distillery.<\/p>\n<p>The whisky is peated, featuring a \u2018complex and intriguing nose of honeyed nuts and rich oak\u2019 along with a \u2018smoky and peppery finish\u2019, Bunnahabhain said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The influence of the brandy casks in its final years of maturation has created a wonderful richness and complex palate that really complements the salty character of Bunnahabhain,\u2019 said Derek Scott, brand director \u2013 malt whisky at distillery owner Distell.<\/p>\n<p>The second limited edition whisky, Bunnahabhain 2003 Pedro Xim\u00e9nez Finish, is an unpeated malt finished in Sherry butts and bottled at 54.8%.<\/p>\n<p>The single malt is said to be \u2018rich and syrupy\u2019, making it \u2018a unique combination of the classic elegant style of Bunnahabhain, contrasted by a sweet note drawn from the Sherried wood\u2019, according to Scott.<\/p>\n<p>The whiskies have been released to select markets, with the 2004 Moine Brandy Finish retailing at an RRP of \u00a380, while the 2003 Pedro Xim\u00e9nez will be sold at an RRP of \u00a385.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bunnahabhain-distillery.jpg\"><img
