Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Fully matured in a Rioja wine barrique, this 5yo Staoisha expression from Bunnahabhain distillery is deliciously peaty and savoury with notes of tobacco, smoked paprika, rock salt and hessian.

Bunnahabhain Information

An imperious and impressive distillery located on the north-east of Islay - the location was decided by William Robertson (of Robertson & Baxter) along with Greenlees Bros back in 1881. This remote location meant that they had to build houses as well, constructing a road and a pier too, so that workers could live nearby and casks & barley could come in with whisky going out.

Production has increased in recent times, leading to investment in the distillery site - including a visitor centre.
