Bunnahabhain lies on the north-eastern tip of Islay and means ‘mouth of the river’. Distillery building commenced in 1881 and the following year full production began.
Bunnahabhain is quite distinct from the other Islay single malts – firstly, it is created using unpeated malted barley in a time-honoured distillation process and secondly, this isolated coastal sanctuary takes advantage of the pure spring water that flows freely underground away from the peaty moorlands.
This 18 year old expression adds sweet and spicy notes to the “fruit and nut” signature style of Bunnahabhain.
