the same batch? # 30 * new label 59.6% old label 59.8% >>> wait for more info

. . . and here is the answer:

There is no batch # 30 with the new label!

Batch # 32 is the first one released with the new label.

 

Here shown batch # 30 was just and only used by Pernod Ricard for marketing and project planing.

. . .  another Label,

only produced for marketing and / or projekt planing to launch a'bunadh in USA:

for batch # 2
