Bunnahabhain 18 YO Islay Single Malt Whiskey

Worth knowing

This powerful single malt is distilled in the very north of Islay's rugged coast. The proximity to the sea and the water from its own underground spring give it a character all of its own - a whisky like the landscape from which it comes!

Aroma

The typical Islay smoky peat notes on the nose are accompanied by a soft, diffuse fruity sweetness right from the start. Nevertheless, the smell is strikingly fresh and lively. Despite its considerable strength, the bolide virtually dances across the tongue, revealing sweet and sour flavours of fresh wild berries. A velvety, nutty-malty undertone joins in and brings the distinctive aromatics into balance. Finally, the sweetness tends towards vanilla and caramel. The remarkably long finish is woodier and spicier without losing sweetness and complexity.
