About this Duncan Taylor Octave

This is a ;24 year old Allt-a Bhainne distilled in 1996. Duncan Taylor moved the whisky into a small sherry octave cask for a nine month finishing period. These small casks (around 60 litres) have a big impact on flavour. And being a small cask, it only produced 70 bottles of this very exclusive whisky.
