Everyone thinks Islay means a punch of campfire and TCP. Bunnahabhain 12 didn't get the memo. This is the gentle rebel: sweet dried fruit, honey, a salty breeze off the sea, and only the faintest curl of smoke way in the back. Pour it after a long night when you want depth without your tongue getting set alight. It's the bottle that turns peat-haters into Islay believers.
First sniff and it's sweet and generous. Sticky dried fruit (think raisins and dark jam), toasted nuts, vanilla and honey, with a whiff of seaweed and sea air underneath that tells you exactly which island you're on. Sip it and the sherry casks do the talking: ripe sultanas, a malty richness, warm spice and velvety toffee, all rolling into a finish that's long, full and dusted with a little sea salt. The smoke is a wisp, not a wall. At 46.3% and unfiltered, it's got real weight and an oily, mouth-coating body.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Bunnahabhain (say it "BOON-a-havn", Gaelic for "mouth of the river") sits on the wild northeast coast of Islay, the Scottish island famous for its big smoky whiskies. Founded back in 1881 near Port Askaig, the distillery was so remote it could only be reached by boat until 1960. While its neighbours chase heavy peat, Bunnahabhain went the other way, making a barely-peated malt that lets the sherry casks and the sea shine instead. The 12 is its flagship, and a bit of a cult favourite.
