There's no such thing as an underdog from Islay anymore, but if there was to be one, it would definitely be Bunnahabhain. With the distillery splitting its time between both peated and unpeated runs, you never really know what you're going to get. Fortunately, however, it's easy to become enamoured with any and all of it! And then you have something like this one come down the pipelines from Adelphi. A first fill ex-Sherry Butt, bottled at natural cask strength, and utterly MASSIVE.
58.8% abv and a steal of a price.
Producer Tasting Note
Huge European oak impact with Oxo cubes, molasses, Bovril and meat pie (Scottish football speciality), scrambled eggs, burnt toffee and espresso crema. Fig and date chutney followed by burnt buttered toast, old furniture polish, Camp coffee and bitter chocolate. Dry, viscous and long lasting.
700 ml

A few years back Bunnahabhain bumped their strength up to 46.3%, bottling it without colouring or chill-filtering. This is the entry level bottling of the Bunnahabhain Distillery, known as the "Gentle Giant of Islay." Bunnahabhain's whisky is generally unpeated, bucking the trend of most Islay distilleries, though it does also produce peated malts. Bunnahabhain is the anchor whisky of the Black Bottle Blend.
Producer Description
"As the original member of our current Core Range, Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old holds a special place in our hearts. First launched in 1979, the Bunnahabhain 12 year old has endured almost 40 years, thanks to the passion and dedication of our distillery team, not to mention the love and support from our fans and friends around the world.
"Our 12 Year Old has set the tone and the benchmark for the rest of the range – only the best will do. Double Matured in Ex Bourbon and Ex Sherry Casks, this whisky is beautifully rich and full-bodied, achieving the perfect balance of the characteristic nutty and sherry flavours of Bunnahabhain."
