(pronounced: boona-HA-vun, or simply: boona) The single malt whisky distillery Bunnahabhain was founded in 1880 in the deserted north of the already sparsely populated whisky island of Islay. The standard malt produced by the distillery is not peated. Bunnahabhain is therefore an exception on Islay. Most of the production goes to blends such as The Famous Grouse and Cutty Sark, but Bunnahabhain's regularly releases own bottlings, and they have a core series under own label. Since 1990, the distillery also produces peated whisky on a limited scale under the brand name Staoisha. We see more and more bottlings appear of this whisky.
A nice sherried single malt. Solid with layers of complexity. The influence of the sherry cask isn't overpowering the whisky at all, leaving enough space for the delicate dried fruits and warming spices to come through. Pleasantly quaffable!
