Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old (70cl, 46.3%)

Get to know: Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old

A beautifully balanced Islay single malt whisky from the rugged northern shores of Islay.

Tasting Note

Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old is an unpeated, sherried style that combines richness, sweetness and a gentle coastal edge. Amber-gold in colour, it opens with aromas of blackcurrant jam, vanilla, cloves and a subtle hint of seaweed. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and silky, with layers of rich sherry, roasted nuts, sweet malt and sultanas. Warm spice melts into velvety caramel, all lifted by a faint maritime breeze. The whisky finishes long and lingering, with waves of sea salt and deeper notes of dried fruit. A superb example of traditional Islay whisky made with finesse and balance.

Top food pairings:

  • Smoked almonds or mixed roasted nuts
  • Dark chocolate with sea salt
  • Hard cheeses such as aged gouda or Comté
Kate Says

"This is the sort of whisky I reach for on a cold evening - warming, rich and packed with character, but still beautifully smooth. A proper fireside dram."
