Bunnahabhain

Bunnahabhain Distillery was established in 1881 on the north eastern tip of the Isle of Islay by the shore of Bunnahabhain Bay and overlooking the Sound of Islay. All the building materials were transported by puffer and unloaded at the distillery pier. Now tucked away at the end of the single track ‘main’ road with spectacular scenery all the way. Bunnahabhain Distillery is equipped with four huge pear shaped stills and produces Scottish malt whisky which is released in blends and single malts. Visitors are welcomed at the distillery visitor centre and distillery cottages are available for holiday lets. A participant in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music.  

This light golden coloured whisky has a mellow sweet nose of sultanas, raisins, bakewell tarts and vanilla toffee with just a trace of peat. It is rich and creamy smooth on the palate, sweet initially with honeycomb then bitter almonds and a whiff of peat smoke. The finish is long and dry with an oaky, smoky aftertaste.
