| Bunnahabhain |
| It could be accurately said that Bunnahabhain was created from the geography upon which it resides. The entire area is very remote and secluded. So remote was this area that the distillery proprietors had to build its own road, homes, schools starting an entirely self-sufficient comunity surrounding the distillery. |
| The name itself is translated from Gaelic as �Mouth of the River�, referring to nearby river Margadale. The distillery is set in a courtyard in a remote cove resembles a chateau in Bordeaux. A kerb has been built to stop visitors' cars from falling into the sea. In 1963, the distillery expanded, adding another pair of stills. The distillery's water rises through limestone, and because it is piped to the distillery, it does not pick up peat on the way. The stills are large, in a style that the industry refers to as onion-shaped. Maturation of the whisky is done in Islay bourbon and sherry casks. Among the Islay malts, Bunnahabhain is by far the lightest in palate, but its body has a distinctive, light oiliness. It has a faint, flowery, nutty with a whiff of sea air, and a character that is quietly distinctive. Since being bought over by Burn Stewart, plans are underwat to launch older bottlings. |
