BUNNAHABHAIN 12 Year Old, 46.3% ABV

The Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old is the original member of their Core Range and was first launched in 1979. It has set the tone and the benchmark for the rest of the range – only the best will do.

Double-matured in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry Casks, this whisky is beautifully rich and full-bodied, achieving the perfect balance of the characteristic nutty and sherry flavours of Bunnahabhain. Fresh and aromatic, fruity floral with hints of dried fruit, and a subtle prevalence of smoke on the nose; light with fruit notes, nutty flavours with a sweetness, and slight hints of vanilla and caramel on the palate; with a finish that is lingering, beautifully rich, and full-bodied.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
