Bunnahabhain (1997)

12 YO

46%

HISTORY:

Bunnahabhain meaning "Mouth of the River" is located in a beautiful setting overlooking the Island of Jura. Unlike its island neighbours, Bunnahabhain is a lightly peated malt.

The distillery has the largest pot stills on the island and its production is mostly used for blending purposes. The un-peated water used at the distillery rises through limestone, and flows down the river Margadale from where it is piped to the distillery. This is a gently subtle Islay malt.

TASTING NOTES:

Nose:  Blast of dry peat, iodine, seaweed and salt.  Lemony.

Palate:  Oily, peaty and peppery.   A peat rollercoaster beast of Islay.

Finish:  Vanilla and mountain honey.
