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 you don’t like this you don’t like scotch. The nose alone makes me giddy. Rich and delicious
First it seduces you with that gentle strawberry ice cream like nose, and then it bites you with an oaky, spicy, peppery, dark chocolate taste. What a dram!
A touch of class this... Crème Brûlée for me, with beautiful caramel, spice, a touch of saltiness and of course those fantastic sherry notes. Love it!
Horrendous, worst whiskey I've ever tasted. All I am getting is a strong taste of alcohol and nothing else .
Salt on the nose, creamy vanilla and some walnut(?) on the palate. Very impressive.
