Bunnahabhain Distillery – Active
Founded in 1881 on Islay’s east coast, Bunnahabhain is the most northernly distillery on Islay and an entirely unique entity.
For most of its history, the vast majority of Bunnahabhain’s whisky has predominantly been unpeated – a highly unusual stance in comparison to its Islay siblings.
Nearly all of Bunnahabhain’s new make is filled into ex-sherry casks and its house style typically features waves of dried fruits, nuts, layered honey and crisp sea air.
