Distillery Background:
Founded in 1881, Bunnahabhain sits at the mouth of the Sound of Islay, where the sea breeze influences every drop of spirit produced. Unlike many Islay distilleries, it is best known for its unpeated style, though it occasionally produces peated runs. Over the decades, Bunnahabhain has built a loyal following for its smooth, maritime malts, offering a softer yet unmistakably Islay experience.
