Bunnahabhain
Whisky Distillery
The Bunnahabhain
Distillery is situated on the east side of the Island of Islay.
It employs 16 staff and comprises a working malt distillery,
visitor centre, holiday cottages and maturation warehouses.
Since 1881, our gentle malt has always started out
the same way, with good quality malted barley, clean pure Margadale
spring water and a little yeast.
We could
try and make out that our whisky is made from superior ingredients
than that of other Islay malts but, if you know your malt whisky,
you will know that all good whisky starts off the same. What
we can tell you is that Bunnahabhain's gentle taste is so unique
because we have never heavily peated our fine malted barley,
our natural spring water source has run clear for over one hundred
years and our sea facing warehouses provide the perfect environment
for maturing our spirit.
