My friend Charles picked up this single-cask release, bottled by Hunter Laing, when we were together on our first trip to Islay in 2017- this bottle was for sale at the Ardnahoe shop. It was distilled in 1996, matured in a refill hogshead, and bottled in 2017. There were 295 total bottles in the release.
