Bunnahabhain 12-Year-Old Scotch is from the Islay Region of Scotland. The name is Scottish Gaelic for “foot of the river” and is also the name of the village on the Northeast Coast on the Isle of Islay. The distillery was established in 1881 and the 12-year-old was first released in 1979. The scotch is 46.3% abv, natural color, un-chilled filtered, and is double matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks.
I had not yet tried Bunnahabhain, so I bought this bottle on a gamble to see how it tastes. I was pleasantly surprised once took a few wee sips. The scotch is well balanced and much lighter than expected for a whiskey originating from Islay. It has a medium body taste but is light enough to work as a summer scotch on the rocks or a winter dram neat next to the fire place.
I really enjoyed this scotch and I will be keeping a bottle on the bar and I look forward to trying other expressions from Bunnahabhain.
Priced around $50 and worth the money.
