This bottle also costs three times more than the others at auction because it is rarer and people want to complete the set. It is a blend of only 2 casks of single malts one of which was disclosed as Talisker.

Produced from one Northern Highland single malt (66%) and one island single malt (34%), Wonder reveals truly incredible maturity and complexity. With lots of finesse and yet still very dense, the aroma and flavour palette is guided by an altruistic peat that is in turns rooty, saline, iodine, earthy and empyreumatic.
