Description
From 1963 to 1997, Bunnahabhain distillery produced an unpeated single malt. Since then, she has caught up well, as proven with this version Staoisha 2013, worthy representative of Islay whiskies, famous for their heavily peated profiles. Nose and palate concentrate camphor, fresh grass, medicinal and oily notes, with maritime and overly smoky character. Like The Un-Chillfiltered Collection, Very Cloudy whiskies are bottled from small batches of two to five casks. Reduced to 40% without cold filtration or coloring, they have a rich profile, very aromatic and have a slightly cloudy appearance.
THE BRAND
Built in 1881 in the midst of the Scottish “whisky boom”, Bunnahabhain is located on the north-east of the Isle of Islay. The stillhouse houses two magnificent pear-shaped stills that produce a heavy spirit that generally has low levels of peat. Owned by the Burn Stewart Distillers group since May 2003, Bunnahabhain recently began releasing extremely peaty and smoky young whiskies through independent bottlers.
