Tasting Notes

A beautifully colour whisky with a delicious nose of home baking and creamy caramel followed by a delicate floral note and ahint of seaweed. On the palate it is smooth and creamy with vanilla the primary taste, then bananas and pears adding fruitiness and body. Ths leads to a late salty note at the end, leaving a dry, long lasting finish.

The Distillery

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.
