Unveil a majestic slice of Islay history with Bunnahabhain 44 Year Old – Single Malts of Scotland “Director’s Special.” Distilled in the mid-1970s and laid down in a solitary refill sherry butt, this unpeated spirit slumbered undisturbed beside the Sound of Islay for more than four decades before being bottled in 2020 at natural cask strength. Presented in Elixir Distillers’ elegant decanter and leather case, only 492 individually numbered bottles capture an opulent fusion of honeyed malt, polished oak and coastal freshness—an extraordinary finale for one of Islay’s most revered warehouses.

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.
