12 Year Old Cask Strength: 2026 Edition

A cask strength representation of our iconic unpeated, sherried house style.

About

Our 12 Year Old Cask Strength release offers a different perspective on our sherried Bunnahabhain house style. The 2026 edition celebrates our signature unpeated Islay single malt in a bolder, more concentrated form, bringing the character of our spirit and the influence of the cask into focus. Rich in fruit, gentle spice and coastal character, our unpeated spirit offers a distinctive take on Islay single malt, with richness and complexity that never need to be overpowering.
MATURATION JOURNEY

The 2026 edition is matured in equal parts of first-fill Oloroso sherry casks and bourbon casks, bringing two distinct influences together. The Oloroso brings classic sherry richness, while the Bourbon American oak softens the sherry strucutre. Of all our previous releases, this edition is most similar to the much-loved 2023 Cask Strength, which also featured an equal split of first-fill Oloroso and refill casks. The 2026 release builds on that bold, cask-driven style, with bourbon casks bringing a brighter sweetness and creamier texture to the sherry-led profile.

Flavour Profile

Natural Colour

Deep gold, as nature intended. Without added colouring, every shade reflects the influence of time spent maturing in a combination of Oloroso and Bourbon casks.

Non-chill Filtered

Non-chill filtered to preserve the whisky's full depth of flavour, texture and character.

A celebration of true Bunnahabhain character that delivers rich, slow-simmered fruits layered with comforting spice.

Our Difference

UNPEATED ISLAY

Unlike other distilleries on Islay, Bunnahabhain is known for its iconic, unpeated Islay Single Malt Whisky.

A ROAD LESS TRAVELLED

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.

TALLEST ON ISLAY

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.

UNCOMPROMISING SPIRIT

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.

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