Reviews

This has a lovely light fruitiness on the nose with lemon meringue pie, lime marmalade, apple blossom, vanilla fudge, gentle wood spices, barley water, and seasoned oak. It's a sweet, polished dram where butterscotch, vanilla custard, lemon, and fudge meet tempered pepper and clove spices followed by a ripening of tropical fruit flavors with passion fruit, dried mango, and red fleshed pears. (165 bottles)

REGION: Islay

This Hebridean island, which has become best known for its peaty, coastal influenced, iodine-rich whiskies, has a remarkable number of distilleries for such a small island. It is thought by some historians that distillation reached Ireland via Islay in the 13th century, which would explain the vital role nearby Islay plays in Scotland’s whisky industry. The region’s characteristic highly phenolic liquid - the result of malting barley over burning peat - has long been in demand from blenders, but has also attracted those in search of a distinctive and powerful single malt. Yet, Islay displays remarkable diversity, with the likes of Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich and Caol Ila producing both peated and unpeated malts.

Distillery: Bunnahabhain

Testament to the wide variety of styles that can be found on the island whisky powerhouse of Islay, Bunnahabhain malt is surprisingly mild and largely unpeated, though the distillery was originally founded in 1881 to provide peaty whiskies to the blending industry. The distillery’s name is Gaelic for ‘mouth of the river’, referencing the Margadale river from whose clear spring water the whisky is distilled, on the sheltered shores of the Sound of Islay. All Bunnahabhain casks are stored on site on the island of Islay, giving ample opportunity for the casks to breathe the sea air, a fact that likely contributes to the whisky’s pronounced salty, maritime notes.
