The second festival bottle is a peated one which for whatever reason the rarity of it makes it more exciting. This combined with a sherry finish which is something of a personal favourite my expectations are sky high before we even get started. Like I said on Tuesday all the content is still available on […]
Bunnahabhain Madeira Finish 2002 (Fies Ile 2020)
Into the second week of Bunnahabhain which is quite the flavour of the month with me just now. The Islay festival or Fies Ile however is not something I have ever wanted to experience. The whisky events during the festival seem to me at least too busy and too crowded. The Islay festival itself started […]
Bunnahabhain Billowing Embers 1997
From something very new last time to something which has been kept on a dusty shelf for years. The 1997 single cask from one of my favourite bottles Wemyss was bottled in 2012. As with all their single cask bottles it was bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtering. Weymss’s single […]
THE GOOD SPIRITS CO. PEATED BUNNAHABHAIN 2013 4 YEAR OLD
I already had a sample of this when I voted for Ralfy to review this whisky. I thought it would be interesting to compare notes which I have never had the pleasure of meeting him. If you want to listen to his review you can do below: Peated Bunnahabhain is one form of peated whisky […]
Bunnahabhain 25 Year Old (Old Bottling)
Bunnahabhain is a great little hidden gem on Islay. Up a road which few would enjoy driving with any great regularity it is a rustic purpose built Victorian factory for the production of whisky. Lately it has been announced that the owners will be investing heavily in the facility and upgrading the cottages for tourists. […]
Bunnahabhain Feis Ile 2017 20 Year Old American Oak
From widely available in every supermarket and corner shop to a bottle originally only available for one week in one shop on one island. Whisky is a broad church and whisky sales channels equally so. The Feis Ile is the Islay whisky festival on the Isle of Islay. Long before whisky festivals were so mainstream […]
BUNNAHABHAIN 13 YEARS OLD – HAND FILLED
When you think of peat you can sometimes be mistaken for only thinking about Islay. There is actually quite a lot of mainland peat examples out there on the market now but even if you have an Islay whisky like this Bunnahabhain you could easily think all peat tastes the same. That is far from […]
Bunnahabhain Moine Oloroso
I really enjoy a peated Bunnahabhain there is something slightly different about the peat in a Bunnahabhain over the other offerings on Islay. The barley is peated at Port Ellen maltings and is also used in the Ledaig offerings from the Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull. Both distilleries having the same parent company […]
Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old
Continuing on around the coast from yesterday’s Bowmore review we arrive at the northern end of the island and the Bunnahabhain distillery. Having relatively recently adopted a more craft presentation it will be interesting to compare to yesteday’s Bowmore entry bottling. The Distillery Bunnahabhian was a purpose built distillery from 1881. The joint venture between […]
