Bunnahabhain 37 Year Old 1980 is an extraordinary Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by acclaimed independent bottler North Star Spirits. Distilled in 1980 and matured for an impressive 37 years in hogshead casks, this rare release was bottled in February 2018, yielding just 140 bottles.

This exceptionally aged Bunnahabhain showcases the distillery’s elegant and lightly coastal spirit character at remarkable maturity. Long maturation in refill hogsheads has allowed the whisky to develop incredible depth and refinement without overwhelming oak influence, preserving layers of tropical fruit, honeyed malt, maritime salinity, and polished oak. Bottled in North Star’s signature natural style, this is a highly collectible Islay malt from a celebrated vintage era.

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.
