If you find yourself on the Isle of Islay, the Bunnahabhain distillery on the east coast of the island is definitely worth a visit. A beautiful distillery producing some beautiful whisky - of course you’ll want to head up there! Not only that, the label of our Bunnahabhain shows some other general goings-on around the distillery, like caber-tossing, sunbathing, vintage lorries and a racecar speeding along the windy roads! Racecar is racecar backwards. If you didn’t notice that before, now you know and are thinking about it too much.

Bunnahabhain Distillery

Bunnahabhain Distillery is located on the remote north coast of the island of Islay, at the mouth of the river Margadale. Founded in 1881 by the Islay Distillery Company, Bunnahabhain stands out for its unique approach to whisky production on this island known for its peat-smoked whiskies.

A specific feature of Bunnahabhain is that it produces mainly unpeated whiskies, unlike most other Islay distilleries. This results in a smooth, complex whisky with subtle maritime influences. Bunnahabhain whiskies are known for their elegant flavour profile, with notes of fruit, nuts and a slight saltiness.

The peated Bunnahabhain single malts are marketed under names such as Toiteach A Dhà, Staoisha, Moine and are also very well received among aficionados.

The distillery uses water from the Margadale Spring and matures its whiskies in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, creating rich and versatile aromas. Bunnahabhain whiskies are often described as smooth and approachable, with a distinctive refinement.

With a strong emphasis on traditional production methods and a commitment to quality, Bunnahabhain remains a respected name in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
