I like the sound of the Bunnahabhain 2008

[Timp]

The Bunna does look good, but like the look of the Deanston. Think I will attempt to get one.

Looks like it's their response to Diageo's Distillers' Edition of their various signature malts.

Having these at cask strength looks like a good start, but I'm not sure I like all this wine in my whisky...

Great to see Distell doing this, both the Deanston 2008 and Bunna 2008 appeals to me.

I agree, good to see Distell getting creative with their maturing stock. The Ledaig bottlings may be interesting also, expensive though. A young and an old expression from each distillery would be nice and gives everyone a chance to try something from each of their distilleries.

I got the chance to taste the new Distell Malt Collection and post my thought on the 6 whiskies here:
