What it’s like

Bunnahabhain is the other side of Islay: its main malt uses hardly any peat. The twelve-year-old combines sherry and bourbon casks and is bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration and with natural colour, according to the brand. The result is rich and briny, with nuts, dried fruit, caramel and a sea breeze. It is a malt much appreciated by those after Islay’s coastal character without intense smoke.

Nose
Nuts, raisins and caramel, with sea breeze and a touch of honey.
Palate
Rounded and rich. Dried fruit, toffee, malt and salt, with a touch of walnut.
Finish
Long, warm and briny, with hints of sherry and walnut.
