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.

Bunnahabhain TOITEACH A DHÀ is the successful successor to the popular Bunnahabhain Toiteach. The name, which translates as «smoky two», heralds an exciting sequel to this whisky. Compared to its predecessor, the proportion of sherry has been increased, which lends additional richness to the elegant character of this Islay whisky. TOITEACH A DHÀ is bottled without chill-filtration and without the addition of colorants in order to preserve the purity and authenticity of the whisky.
