Bunnahabhain 2018 Single Malts of Scotland - 48%

Some bottlings tell a story straight away. This Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair takes you straight to the rugged north coast of the island of Islay. Named after the Gaelic word for "helmsman", this single malt guides you safely through the maritime world of aromas of a distillery that, like hardly any other, stands for the unpeated character of the famous whisky island.

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 to make whiskey—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.
