The fantastic flagship from Bunnahabhain (pronounced boo-na-ha-ven), launched as the distillery's original single malt in 1979, this Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old. It is aged in a mixture of bourbon and sherry casks and, since a relaunch in 2010, has been bottled at a big 46.3% ABV without chill-filtration or additional colouring. Very impressive. Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old is unpeated, unlike most Islay whisky, but has a beautiful coastal quality complemented by its fruity, light, sweet and nutty character. It’s one of those whiskies that newcomers and enthusiasts alike appreciate.

Fresh, sweet, and a little floral. There’s seaweed, rich malt, dried fruit, camphor, caramel, chocolate orange, and apple poached in cinnamon.
Soft and supple with a nutty, sherried quality leading among vanilla, marmalade, sultanas, and a bright coastal element.
Mochaccino, dried herbs, Christmas cake spice, and a balanced salty tang.

This is simply just a very lovely well balanced punchy whisky that is really great bang for your buck! You cannot go wrong with this tipple, it will always be a staple in my collection.
Well shock horror at the one star review Drinking 6-8 years purchase so a bottle of the new batch to compare No difference for me It is still Bunny12 which I really like/love can see why it is a favourite Often get comments of is this Islay from guests expecting some peat/smoke But smoke heads highlanders others the reaction is always this is good whisky My experience is tyre flavours are tainting from coffee mouth but what do I know
First tried on the Oban to Mull ferry while it was malt of the month! Been hooked now for ten years!! Great taste, great price ?
I've been drinking single malt whiskies off and on for the last 26 years, and in that time I've never encountered a whisky I didn't like. However, Bunnahabhain 12 year old is the first whisky that I've had difficulty drinking - there is an overwhelming aroma and taste of degrading rubber that masks everything else, save from some sherry in the finish. I offered it to my girlfriend and she said it smelled of inner tubes! I hope the other bottles I have aren't tainted too...
superb whisky from bunna. some sea in a partly sherried islay piece of class. well controlled finish too. hard to beat at the price
