An austere piece of Victorian architecture on the north-east coast of Islay, Bunnahabhain (pronounced, “Bu-na-ha-venn") is a relative outsider on the island, traditionally known for producing an un-peated single malt. The majority of which was used for blending, as was its initial intended purpose. The distillery was shut for 2 years in 1982 following the market downturn of the period, and despite being revived at low production, it was eventually officially bottled as a single malt later that decade, with the self-deprecating tagline, "the un-pronounceable malt." Following the success of the first Bunnahabhain 40-year-old, bottled in 2012 by Burn Stewart, this follow-up small batch edition was bottled on the 143rd day of 2017 released by Distell in 2018. Tasting Notes by The Producer Nose: Hints of tropical fruits, banana, berries, creamy toffee, vanilla, rich nuttiness and delicate sweet oak. Palate: Sweet malt, creamy caramel, vanilla, creamy berries, with hints of toasted nuts, tropical fruit, banana, and pineapple. Finish: Long sweet and fruity.
