"Peaty, unlike most Bunnahabhain, but not overly so, and the usual sherry background comes through."
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.
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 7 reviews.

"Peaty, unlike most Bunnahabhain, but not overly so, and the usual sherry background comes through."
"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."
"For me the best of the three Feisile editions 2026. Very impressive whisky. Lots of sherry notes beautifully balanced with peat smoke. Very elegant and highly enjoyable from start to finish."
"Bright, bone‑dry and brimming with sea salt. Zesty lemon, toasted almond and crisp coastal bite – the Fino finish brings pure elegance, no heavy sweetness. Powerful yet silky smooth."
"Amazing, bought the first two at Feis Ile and not the third, regretted it when home so ordered straight away, came wuickly and well packaged, thank you 👌"
"Very nice, good strong flavour, would recommend."
"Great dram!"
