Tasting Notes
Nose Opulent notes of ripe blackberries, antique leather, and polished walnut, with undertones of eucalyptus, manuka honey, and old books.
Palate Incredibly smooth and layered—dark chocolate truffles, tobacco leaf, dried orange peel, and molasses unfold with stately poise.
Finish Endless and contemplative, resonating with old oak, damp earth, and lingering fruitcake richness.

The Distillery
Bunnahabhain
Bunnahabhain Distillery, founded in 1881 on the northeastern tip of the Isle of Islay, sits by Bunnahabhain Bay, overlooking the Sound of Islay. Originally constructed with materials ferried by puffer and unloaded at the distillery pier, it’s now tucked away at the end of a single-track road with spectacular coastal views. Equipped with four large, pear-shaped stills, Bunnahabhain produces Scottish malt whisky for both blends and single malt or single caskbottlings. A proud participant in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music, the distillery’s core releases—including Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old and Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old—reflect its commitment to craftsmanship and the Islay whisky tradition.
