Islay Whisky
The 18-year-old is limited to 1,500 bottles in the first release, and presents a nose of toffee, marshmallow and spices. It is comparatively sweet, with stewed fruit. On the palate it offers something of a contrast to olfactory expectations, being nutty, dry and initially quite hot, with a touch of pepper. Caramelised fruits segue into a long finish of baked banana. source www.whisky-pages.com
A feast of tropical fruits, berries and creamy toffee blooms into sweet oak, vanilla and toasted nuts; this is a whisky to truly behold.
Four long decades have crawled by as this precious whisky slowly and silently matured within our warehouses by the sea. Indeed, the casks that this whisky was maturing in were all but forgotten, until our blending team discovered them whilst reviewing the warehouse ledgers. Sourced from the legendary wines and spirit merchant, J.G Turney, these casks have been home to this stunning whisky for the past forty years.
This unique 40 Year Old is as rare as it is prized – if you’re ever lucky enough to hold one, be gentle, you’re holding a piece of history! As with all our single malt whiskies, this is non-chill filtered and natural colour.

With a rich sherry influence and aromas of fruit and nuts, this malt is guaranteed to transport you back to the shore at Bunnahabhain.
An Cladach, meaning ?The Shore? in Scots Gaelic, is as exquisitely layered and complex as its predecessors from the same range and as sweet and sherried as you would expect of a Bunnahabhain.

This whisky is a return to the days when Bunnahabhain made big peaty whiskies. Ce?banach means 'Smoky mist' in Scots Gaelic, and this dram certainly packs a rich, smoky profile that classic Islay fans will love. It was matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled without chill-filtration.
Cruach-Mhona, gaelic for 'peat stack', a pile of drying peat bricks cut for fuel, is a departure from Bunnahabhain's usual style, adding in some peat to their normally unpeated spirit. Originally released solely into travel retail.
Eirigh Na Greine (pronounced "ae-ree ne gray-nyuh" and meaning "Morning Sky" in Gaelic) is an intriguingly complex marriage of vibrant Bunnahabhain single malts, including some of the finest ex-red wine cask-matured Bunnahabhain whiskies.
The Master Distiller has perfected the recipe to showcase Bunnahabhain's signature taste, which consists of roasted nuts, dried fruits and hints of sea salt and smoke. This complex bouquet has been further enhanced by the sweet, rich and spicy aromas imparted by the Italian and French red wine influence.
Only a small batch of Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine is bottled every year.
The peated spirit from Bunnahabhain is often referred to as Staoisha, differentiating it from the usually un-peated style of the distillery. Exotic freshly toasted spices mingle with sweet tobacco and Islay peat smoke, joining dark toffee and salted caramel. Dry roasted peanuts (a signature of this spirit) comes through in the finish.
Sti?ireadair ( pronounced stew-rahdur) is a tribute to the sea and its influence on their distillery and the whisky they distill. Our blender has carefully selected casks with spirit of varying ages from our shoreside distillery warehouses, to create this distinctive dram, with its rich characterful heart, typical of Bunnahabhain.
Matured in Sherry casks, it has scents of dried fruit, caramel, and vanilla with a nutty, creamy taste and long fruity finish.
This expression from the famously unpeated Islay distillery is a sequel to the original Toiteach, crafted using Bunnahabhain M?ine, the distillery's peated spirit. It's name, Toiteach A Dha (pronounced 'Toch-ach ah-gha'), translates to 'Smoky Two' in Scots Gaelic and combines a higher proportion of sherry casks than the original. Presented free from chill-filtration and artificial colouring,
Matured for a total of 13 years, the final 2 years of this Caol Ila were spent finishing in ex-Sassicaia red wine casks, a 'super Tuscan' red wine from Italy. The cask shows its character immediately with blackcurrant, dried fig and black forest fruitiness wrapping around Caol Ila's meaty peat smoke. The smoke and fruit mingle together, combining to create a distinctive fruity, peaty concoction that has made this on-going release from G&M so popular.
Caol Ila is one of Islay's best loved distilleries and this 12 year old is their entry level bottling. This expression is light and fresh with that distinctive Caol Ila smoke and notes of zesty limoncello. A prefect introduction to the joys of Islay malt and the mercurial qualities of peat smoked whisky.

The yearly Diageo Special Releases always pack some surprises and it's fair to say an unpeated Caol Ila is probably one of them. This single malt Scotch promotes the distillery's lesser-known side as a sherry-forward Caol Ila that swaps smoke for elegant sweetness. It was matured for 15 years in refill and rejuvenated American-oak hogsheads and ex-bodega European oak butts before it was bottled at a cask strength 59.1% ABV.
Nose: Opens with marmalade-laden buttery toast, milk chocolate and fresh orange notes, before red cherry, strawberry and raisin comes through. Lashes of vanilla and a suggestion of spearmint, too.
Palate: Leads with more of that creamy chocolate, fruity yoghurt and honey. Peach is in there too, and in with all the oiliness is a pine-like quality.
Finish: Yoghurt-covered almonds with some liquorice and, yes, some distant smoke.
Overall: It's an viscous drop that packs a creamy-fruity punch.
