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.

If there is a better 12 year old malt out there, then I'm yet to find it.
Bloody nice. Tried it for the first time last week. It is delicious.
12 years old, 46.3%, natural colour and un-chillfiltered. Four clues on the label that this should be a great dram. For me it is a superb whisky, complex with oak barrel vanilla, a hint of smoke, salty sea air, dried fruits and nuts. Tastes like a lot of care has gone into getting all the tastes to balance so well. Andrew Brown, distillery manager has his name on the label and very well done to you Sir!
