How peated is Bunnahabhain compared to other Islay whiskies?
Our peated expressions are gentler than many peated Islay malts, offering soft smoke intertwined with sweetness rather than the heavy medicinal peat associated with the majority of the island.
The barley is slowly dried over burning peat, infusing it with gentle smoke and earthy warmth that complements our naturally sweet, coastal spirit.

Are all peated whiskies matured on Islay?
Yes, all our peated whiskies mature in coastal warehouses overlooking the Sound of Islay, gaining maritime notes alongside their smoky character.
How does peat influence the flavour compared to unpeated expressions?
Peat adds warmth, smoke and subtle spice, creating a more robust profile while still allowing the signature fruit, nuttiness and coastal sweetness of Bunnahabhain to shine.
