The distillery opened in 1881 on the Isle of Isla on the northern shore of the island where for many years the distillery was owned and operated by Highland Distillers who were renowned for "The Famous Grouse" blend. This familiar blended whisky used a blend of mainland malts and locally produced single malt whiskies from Isla. The distillery was sold to Burns Stewart in May 2003. The name Bunnahabhain means "Mouth of the River" and Bunnahabhain single malt whisky also contributes to Cutty Sark and Black Bottle blended whiskies. Check out the Bunnahabhain distillery.
Our 18 year old is encased in a smoked brown glass bottle with dual labelling to differentiate it from the younger 12 year old sibling. Its gift tube is seaweed green in colour with a subtle but distinct illustration of Bunnahabhain's bay on the front.
This beautiful golden spirit's nose releases honeyed nuts and a slightly sea-induced salty tang. Rich toffee and leathery oak aromas can be sensed upon further inspection. The palate is influenced by mellow sherried nuts and shavings of the finest natural oak wood.
The voyage ends with dry notes that are interspersed with mixed spices fading magnificently into a light salt and sherry finale.
