Tasting Notes
Flavour Layers
Nose Deep and luxurious with aromas of rich dried fruits, polished oak, dark chocolate, and spiced orange, layered with tobacco and leather.
Palate Velvety and full-bodied, delivering waves of raisins, figs, treacle, and sherry-soaked fruitcake, balanced by cocoa, roasted nuts, and oak spice.
Finish Endlessly long and warming, with lingering sherry richness, dark fruits, and refined oak tannins.

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.
