Product Description: 

Bunnahabhain 12 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky • Aged 12 Years • Unpeated (rare for Islay) • Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks • Bottled at 46.3% ABV • Non-chill filtered • Natural color.

The Bunnahabhain 12 Year is the gateway into one of Islay’s most distinctive distilleries famous not for smoke, but for the purity of its coastal malt and sherry-enhanced richness. Unlike most Islay whisky, Bunnahabhain makes an unpeated malt that allows the maritime character, supple sweetness, and oak-driven depth to shine without distraction. Matured for 12 years in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, this expression remains a benchmark for balance, texture, and honest craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

•  Nose
• Dried fruit, salted caramel, toasted barley, honeyed nuts, and a whisper of sea spray. The sherry casks bring raisin and spice, while the coast contributes freshness and salinity.
• Palate
  Rich and silky. Notes of dried apricot, toffee, roasted hazelnuts, malted biscuit, warm spice, and creamy vanilla flow across the palate. The maritime influence adds depth without sharpness, and the sherry casks layer in dark fruit sweetness.
• Finish
  Long and warming oak spice, toasted malt, salted chocolate, and a lingering nutty richness that balances sweet and savory.

Serving Suggestions
