Bunnahabhain 46 Year Old 1971 Signatory Rare Reserve is an extraordinary Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Signatory Vintage for their prestigious Cask Strength Rare Reserve Collection. Distilled in 1971 and matured for an incredible 46 years in a single hogshead (#2226), this ultra-rare expression was bottled in July 2017 at natural cask strength (42.8% ABV), with just 95 individually numbered bottles released.

Crafted at the coastal Bunnahabhain Distillery, this long-aged single malt reflects the distillery’s unpeated, maritime style—elegant, complex, and subtly influenced by decades of maturation. Extended ageing in a hogshead has allowed the spirit to develop remarkable depth while retaining balance and finesse.
