    Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old

    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.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Fresh, sweet, and a little floral. There’s seaweed, rich malt, dried fruit, camphor, caramel, chocolate orange, and apple poached in cinnamon.

    Palate

    Soft and supple with a nutty, sherried quality leading among vanilla, marmalade, sultanas, and a bright coastal element.

    Finish

    Mochaccino, dried herbs, Christmas cake spice, and a balanced salty tang.

    Beautiful Islay malt

    I wasn't impressed by the Toiteach a Dha but this 12 yo is outstanding. Smooth, flavourful- -I love all the Islay malts (and I've visited all 8 of the distilleries on the island) but this is now my favourite.

    12 years old Bunnahaiben

    Enjoyed this. Tastes stronger than its modest Abv. Unpeated and well rounded

    Lovely drop

    One of my go to drops-never fails to satisfy

    Master of Malt Customer Sep 3, 2024

    Quality stuff

    Stuiredair was my first Bunna and I still prefer it, subjectively, over the 12. There are certain diifferences, and the 12 does have extra layers of complexity. The taste also continually improves couple of weeks after the first opening. Fruit, jam and vanilla on the nose with the touch of oak. Raisins and vanilla pudding on the palate and long, sweet finish. Great stuff.

    Wonderful

    First sampled this great Islay malt last April when we had a holiday on Islay. Had 2 bottles since. Great vaue would recommed. P.S We sampled 7 of the 9 Distillary's I think !
