This bottling of a 10-year-old Bunnahabhain single malt was produced as a small batch by the independent bottler Cadenhead. The whisky was distilled in 2005, matured in two ex-bourbon barrels and was bottled in 540 bottles in 2015.
Bunnahabhain is a distillery near Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay, Scotland, founded in 1881 by James Ford, James Greenlees and William Robertson at the mouth of the Margadale. It is the northernmost distillery on Islay and one of the smaller distilleries. It was owned by Highland Distillers (The Edrington Group) until 2003, when they sold it when it was threatened with closure.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
