Bunnahabhain Distillery, Port Askaig, Islay

Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Islay Single Malt

Distell International

Bunnahabhain is Islay's best-kept secret precisely because it refuses to play the smoke card. While its neighbours compete on peat levels, Bunnahabhain builds complexity through sherry cask maturation and an unpeated spirit that lets the malt character breathe. The 12 Year Old is the entry point to a distillery that rewards loyalty — drink it beside a heavily peated Islay malt and you'll understand the full range of what this island can do. The contrast is revelatory.
