Potenza pura ma con stile
"Potenza ma con uno stile inconfondibile. finale Lungo, asciutto e decisamente sapido. pochissime gocce d'acqua aprono le note olfattive imprigionate nell'alcool."

Some single malts shout. Ours never has to. Created using a combination of first, second and re-fill Oloroso casks, the 2025 Edition of our 12 Year Old Cask Strength brings layered complexity, not overwhelming intensity. Expect balance, delicate sherry and our unfiltered, uncompromised, unmistakably Bunnahabhain character.
There's a moment in our coastal warehouses that visitors never forget; tasting whisky straight from the cask. No dilution. No polish. Just spirit in its purest form. This year's 12 Year Old Cask Strength was inspired by that experience and the thousands who have sipped straight from the cask at our bay-side distillery.
Matured entirely in our coastal warehouses, this limited edition cask strength release draws on a combination of predominantly second fill Oloroso casks with just enough first fill and refill influence to add depth, not distraction. It’s a whisky that delivers clarity, structure and restraint.
12 Years Old
Oloroso
Cask Strength ABV of 56.4%
With no added colour, this dram retains its natural deep gold hues.
The sherry influence is delicate, never dominant, allowing our unpeated Islay spirit to express itself fully. You'll find notes of dried fruit, hazelnut, light tobacco and soft brine.
Unlike other distilleries on Islay, Bunnahabhain is known for its iconic, unpeated Islay Single Malt Whisky.
Situated on the Sound of Islay, Bunnahabhain is the most northerly distillery, only accessible by boat until 1960. Now by single track road, it is an adventure for whisky enthusiasts.
Bunnahabhain's pear-shaped stills are the tallest on Islay. Their unusually long swan necks promote a lighter, delicate spirit character as heavier flavour compounds can't reach the summit.
Non-chill filtered with no added colour, Bunnahabhain is a robust, oily spirit that stands up to full maturation in sherry and bottlings at cask strength.
