Bunnahabhain 12 Jaar Whisky

Our signature unpeated Islay single malt, introducing the distinctive character and craftsmanship that define Bunnahabhain.

About

The expression that defines Bunnahabhain. Our award-winning 12 Year Old has introduced generations of whisky lovers to a different side of Islay - one shaped not by smoke, but by subtlety, patience and the influence of the sherry and the sea. Matured beside the Sound of Islay, it captures the distillery's signature style: richly characterful, gently coastal and unmistakably Bunnahabhain. Balancing sherry richness with fresh fruit, roasted nuts and a hint of maritime salinity, it is a whisky that rewards every return.
MATURATION JOURNEY

The journey begins in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, each selected to bring a different dimension to the spirit. Ex-Bourbon casks contribute notes of vanilla, orchard fruit and gentle sweetness, while ex-Sherry casks introduce layers of dried fruit, toasted nuts and warming spice. Together, they create the balance that has become synonymous with Bunnahabhain - allowing the character of the spirit to shine while building depth, complexity and a remarkably smooth finish.

Our Difference

UNPEATED ISLAY

In tegenstelling tot andere distilleerderijen op Islay, staat Bunnahabhain bekend om zijn iconische, niet-geturfde Islay Single Malt Whisky.

EEN MINDER BELOPEN PAD

Gelegen aan de Sound of Islay is Bunnahabhain de meest noordelijke distilleerderij, die tot 1960 alleen per boot bereikbaar was. Nu via een smalle weg, is het een avontuur voor whiskyliefhebbers.

HOOGSTE OP ISLAY

De peervormige distilleerketels van Bunnahabhain zijn de hoogste op Islay. Hun ongewoon lange zwaanhalzen bevorderen een lichtere, delicate karakter van de spirit, omdat zwaardere smaakstoffen de top niet kunnen bereiken.

ONVERWISSELBARE GEEST

Niet gekoeld gefilterd en zonder toegevoegde kleur, is Bunnahabhain een robuuste, olieachtige drank die goed bestand is tegen volledige rijping in sherry en bottelingen op vatsterkte.

Our whisky is known for being unpeated, natural colour and non-chillfiltered.

Sweetness and rich

"The nose is different to all other whisky, in a fantastic way that only gets better with the first taste. It has depth and a sweetness, from the sherry casks, that lingers and makes your mouth water."

Delicious.

"My friend introduced me to Bunnahabhain Single Malt Whisky. All I can say is that it is delicious. Just like nectar. Thank you. James."

Smooth

"Lovely whisky not really what I would expect from Islay. I found the taste to be “genteel but full flavour and very little if any smokiness. I drink whisky with a small amount of ice only."

— Paul S. (5/5)

Fantastical

"What was once my favourite of over 20 years is no more. . . . . . . . . since I had a taste of bunnahabhain I am totally converted, my new fave. Couldn't ask for a smoother tatier malt, I'm down to the label getting ready for my next deep dive into the finest single malt ever. Cheers"

"Lovely whiskey really nice taste totally different than the normal one I have"

— KEITH (5/5)

THE best tasting Scotch I've ever had!

"This Scotch is AMAZING! The smoothness, the Carmel and vanilla and spices are all so delicious. It doesn't Bite the tongue with smoke or oak. I don't care for either the smoke nor the oak of other Scotches. Adding just a touch of water, really brings out the flavors and the sweetness. Excellent! You will Not be sorry!"

— Lee C. (5/5)
