TASTING NOTES

NOSE
Zesty orange peel and grapefruit lead to honey drizzled almonds, pecan brittle, cracked peppercorns, spiced ginger biscuits, and sea spray. A lift of brioche and white florals.
PALATE
Caramel and bourbon vanilla meet golden raisins and sticky toffee pudding. Cinnamon, chilli chocolate and nutmeg dusted hazelnuts meet soft leather and coastal peat.
FINISH
Long and lingering gentle citrus zest, sweet spice, roasted nuts and salted caramel. Coca-dusted almonds, a trace of peat smoke, and a delicate thread of honeyed oak unfold.

ABOUT

This limited edition, distillery exclusive single malt celebrates an extraordinary milestone of Lillian MacArthur's 50 years of dedication to Bunnahabhain. For five decades, her commitment, knowledge and passion have been woven into the fabric of our Islay distillery. To honour her, we present this distillery exclusive bottling.

MATURATION JOURNEY

A marriage of five exceptional casks spanning fives decades: 1975 Marsala, 1989 Moscatel Wine, 1997 Moine Manzanilla, 2007 Oloroso and 2014 Bourbon. Each cask was carefully selected to reflect a facet of Lillian's remarkable character, combining sweet, fruity, nutty, and subtly savoury notes. The result is a single malt layered with complexity, balancing richness and depth with an intriguing dry edge and a delicate twist of smoke.

WHERE UNIQUE MEETS EXCEPTIONAL

UNPEATED ISLAY

UNPEATED ISLAY

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

A ROAD LESS TRAVELLED

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

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

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.
