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.

Fantastic whisky. Thick and oily with lovely notes of pickled fruits and a rich smooth finish
One of my favorite scotches. I love all types of whiskey. I love all types of Islay. This one is sweet and salty, almondy and chocolatey, fruity and spicy, creamy and syrupy, it is balanced so perfectly. For the price I can get it, I always have it on me.
This is an absolute gem. But please let it breathe at least 5 minutes in the glass. A whole new drum! Just a few drops of water for me is perfect. Cannot say enough about this lovely whisky. This is how good scotch whisky should be !! Bunnahabhain distillery should be congratulated!!!!!
They say that you don't get something for nothing but, thanks to the Summerton Whisky Club, that is exactly what we had when this little gem arrived tucked inside the packing box containing this month's Whisky of the month. It is an absolute gem - a total work of art. So, in gratitude for this unexpected introduction......I have just bought a bottle. Can't say better than that, can you?
I totally agree with the review below dated 27th Dec 2020. Well put that person. This really is a super whisky. Beautifully put together.
