The call of the sea has always been strong in Bunnahabhain, so maturing it in sherry casks from a fellow coastal dweller ensures even more waves of delicious and distinctive flavour.

Andrew Brown Distillery Manager – ABM

At Bunnahabhain, we’ve been producing exceptional single malts at our remote coastal distillery since 1881, each delightful dram shaped by the relentless seas that ebb and flow past our front door. Like our whisky, Manzanilla sherry is also made beside the ocean and, like us, its distinctive flavour is influenced by the salty spray. What better then, than to combine the two? Every golden drop of this divine single malt has been carefully matured in former Manzanilla casks for a full 11 years. Resting amid the gentle echo of the Sound of Islay, its resulting character runs deep with salted caramel and swims with sumbline currents of oak, nuts and fruit.
