Bunnahabhain18YearOld(700mL)

<p>Bunnahabhain Scotch Single Malt 18 Year is a Cinderella story if there ever was one … lightly peated and delicate, complex and refined, it is a must for every whisky-loving prince. </p><p>Bunnahabhain distillery was constructed in 1881 by the <em>Greenlees brothers</em> and first opened its doors in <em>1883.</em> It’s located on the island of Islay, with 11 employees and four massive stills – <em>among the biggest in the industry,</em> alongside Glenmorangie.</p><p>Cinderella is the Whisky itself. <em>Bunnahabhain </em>is rising from obscurity in a forgotten corner of Islay. And this little beauty cleans up good.<em> Lightly peated, beautifully aged in sherry butts</em>, and ready for her premiere at the ball in a glass slipper … or a glass snifter which would likely be a better choice. If you are a fan of Islay Whisky, this one is your ticket to happily-ever-after. </p><p><u>SmartAss Corner</u><em>In “Islay Gaelic,” Bunnahabhain means “mouth of the river.” And indeed, Bunnahabhain sits at the mouth of the Margadale River, whose source is a spring that provides the water for the Whisky.</em> </p>
