Descripción

Bunnahabhain Distillery, located on the picturesque coast of the Isle of Islay, was founded in 1881 and is known for its unique, unpeated whiskies. The distillery originally relied on the sea trade and experienced a turning point in 1960 with the construction of a new road that improved logistics. After a brief closure in the 1930s and the last ship arrival in 1993, the road became the main supply route. In 2006, after the takeover by Burn Stewart Distillers, the brand profile was given a modern makeover. The water for the whiskies comes from chalky springs and is piped to the distillery without contact with peat, which gives the whiskies their mild, characteristic taste.

As a single malt Scotch whisky, Bunnahabhain 18 Years Old is distilled exclusively from malted barley in pot stills at the traditional Bunnahabhain distillery. The 18-year maturation in high-quality sherry casks gives the whisky a remarkable depth and complexity. In addition, the whisky is bottled without chill-filtration and without the addition of colorants, which preserves the authenticity and purity of the whisky. (automated translation)
