About this Duncan Taylor Single Cask

This 20-year-old Bunnahabhain was bottled by Duncan Taylor as part of their respected Single Cask range, showcasing the distillery’s spirit at full maturity and without unnecessary intervention. Distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2023, it has spent two decades developing in a sherry cask, resulting in a whisky that balances depth, richness, and the distillery’s naturally elegant coastal character.

Unlike many Islay malts, Bunnahabhain is known for producing an unpeated or very lightly peated style, allowing cask influence and spirit character to take centre stage. Long maturation in sherry casks often works beautifully here, amplifying the distillery’s trademark nutty, malty core while layering in dried fruits, gentle spice, and a subtle maritime freshness.

Bottled at natural cask strength (54.3%), with natural colour and no chill filtration, this release retains its full texture and aromatic complexity. The cask yielded just 278 bottles, making it a quietly limited Islay single malt that rewards time in the glass rather than shouting for attention.

This is a composed, grown-up sherried whisky — rich but not heavy, coastal but not smoky — and a fine example of how Bunnahabhain evolves with patient maturation.

Shipping and taxes

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay. US Customs takes two to three weeks to complete, after which your parcel will arrive at your door as if it were a normal delivery.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

Carbon neutral?

Yes, all our deliveries are carbon neutral. We work with Planet to estimate the carbon impact of each delivery, and then purchase carbon removal credits to offset the emissions.

Meet The Owner

Euan Shand

A whisky merchant by trade, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky was brought by Euan Shand in 2008, returning the company to Scottish hands. Since then, Duncan Taylor has gone on to celebrate its 80th birthday in 2018 and Euan now runs the company as Chairman.

Today, Duncan Taylor have a number of award-winning collections. My favourite three are their Single Casks, bottled all natural, their Octave Invigorated, with turbo-charged flavour from small sherry casks, and their Rare Auld Grain collection of exceptionally well-aged single grain whiskies.
