OVER

Meaning “the rough seas” in Scots Gaelic, An Cuan Garbh {An Coo-ann Gaa-riv} represents the second stage of the Westering Home journey - the crossing between where we begin and where we long to return. Inspired by the untamed waters surrounding Islay, this chapter speaks to movement, endurance and transformation. As the spirit matures beside the coast, time and environment leave their mark, layering fruit, spice and maritime character into the whisky over years of quiet evolution. There is strength in this balance - richness tempered by freshness, warmth lifted by sea air. An Cuan Garbh No.3 captures the feeling of pressing onward through uncertain waters, guided always by the promise of home on the horizon.

RIJPINGSREIS

Distilled on 8th December 2010, this 15 Year Old distillery exclusive dram was fully matured in a single refill sherry butt to reveal the depth that time and restraint can bring to a peated spirit. The gentle influence of the refill sherry cask allows the whisky’s smoky character to evolve naturally over years of maturation, softening and integrating while retaining clarity and structure. Balanced yet powerful, An Cuan Garbh No.3 is a whisky shaped by endurance - where smoke, sherry and coastal character come together with remarkable depth and composure.

WAAR UNIEK SAMENKOMT MET UITZONDERLIJK

UNPEATED ISLAY

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

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

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

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.

Superb

"Peaty, unlike most Bunnahabhain, but not overly so, and the usual sherry background comes through."

— Glynn S. (5/5)

A truly special whisky!

"An outstanding single cask single malt that perfectly showcases Bunnahabhain’s signature character and elegance. I found plenty of dried fruit, warming spice and a touch of peat smoke, all working together really well without any one note dominating. A truly unique expression that offers excellent balance, character and depth throughout the entire tasting experience."

— Udo W. (5/5)
