Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old CS 2026 - 55.8%
The Bunnahabhain Distillery is located on the Sound of Islay, in the northeastern corner of the island, directly across from the island of Jura—so remote that when it was built in 1881, a long, winding road first had to be constructed down to the sea. The water used for whisky production—which is relatively low in peat for Islay—comes from an underground spring, the Margadale River.
Until 2003, it was owned by the descendants of the founders, Highland Distillers. The current owner is Burn Stewart Distillers.

Product information "Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old CS 2026 - 55.8%"
This cask-strength bottling showcases Bunnahabhain exactly as it matures in the warehouse: unpeated, fruity, with gentle spice and the characteristic coastal freshness—undiluted, without chill filtration, and without added color. For the 2026 release, Bunnahabhain’s Master Blender Julieann Fernandez combines 50% first-fill Oloroso casks with 50% bourbon casks. The result is robust and cask-forward, yet wonderfully sweet, creamy, and approachable.
The Oloroso casks contribute the classic Bunnahabhain richness: dried fruits, gentle spice, and chocolate. The Bourbon casks add notes of vanilla, honey, and toasted coconut, making the whiskey rounder and creamier. Aging in the warehouses right on Bunnahabhain Bay imparts a subtle hint of salt and sea air to the whole blend. The spiciness is present and perfectly integrated—powerful, yet never overpowering.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Raisins, figs, and dates with honey and vanilla, followed by cinnamon and cloves. Underneath, fresh coastal notes.
Taste: An abundance of stewed fruits and warming spices, balanced by creamy vanilla and toasted coconut, with a hint of the sea.
Finish: Long and complex: dried fruit and spice that give way to dark sugar and polished mahogany.
