Tasting Notes
TWB Tasting Notes: On the nose, gentle aromas of honeyed malt and vanilla intertwine with hints of sea breeze and citrus zest, evoking the maritime heritage of the distillery. The palate is smooth and richly layered, revealing flavors of creamy toffee, ripe orchard fruits, and subtle notes of toasted almonds. The refill hogshead imparts a delicate oak influence, allowing the whisky's natural sweetness and complexity to shine. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions of sweet malt, soft spice, and a touch of salty sea air.

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.
