Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old Cask Strength Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 55.1% Age: 12 Years Old Country: Scotland
The Bunnahabhain Distillery is the most northerly and remote on the island of Islay and was opened in 1883 to make use of excess grain from local farmers. The name Bunnahabhain translates as ‘mouth of the river’ and if you ever visit will see that the distillery is built near the mouth of the River Margadale which flows into the Sound of Islay. Pronounced Bú-na-ha-venn, this Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky is quite distinct from the many others on the island, given the wonderfully gentle taste profile for which it is known. Water is piped in from from Margadale Springs and the whisky is distilled twice in the distillery’s unusual pear-shaped pot stills
Don’t delay, grab one of these rare and full flavoured Bunnahabhain cask strength whiskies before they’re all gone. Inspired by the staff at the distillery who generally prompt to offer a tasting at the distilleries Warehouse number 9. From the cask of these warehouses you’ll get to try some very rare cask strength flavour bombs. This one has lots of sherry influence and warming oak. Matured for no less than 12 years in ex-Sherry barrels and bottled at natural cask strength of 55.1% abv.
