Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Bunnahabhain — pronounced "boo-na-ha-venn" — 12 Year Old is one of Islay's best-kept secrets and a whisky that consistently surprises those who expect all Islay malts to be heavily peated. Located at the northern tip of Islay on the shores of the Sound of Islay, Bunnahabhain Distillery produces a predominantly unpeated spirit that is as far from the island's smoky stereotype as it is possible to get — and all the more remarkable for it.

Matured for 12 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, Bunnahabhain 12 is a whisky of genuine warmth, richness, and character. The nose is inviting and complex — dried fruit, toasted nuts, and a gentle nuttiness open up to reveal notes of dark chocolate, sea salt, and a subtle maritime quality that whispers of its coastal home. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and beautifully rounded: raisins, orange peel, toffee, and a soft warming spice build with a satisfying depth, while a gentle brine and nuttiness add a savory dimension that makes it endlessly interesting. The finish is long, warm, and gently drying — dried fruit, toasted oak, and a lingering coastal salinity fading gracefully.

Unpeated, unpretentious, and utterly distinctive — Bunnahabhain 12 is the Islay single malt for those who think they don't like Islay whisky.
