BunnahabhainMòine(700mL)

<p>Bunnahabbain has reestablished their smoky, peated Whisky heritage with their classic Single Malt.</p><p><em>Bunnahabhain Distillery</em> was constructed in <em>1881 </em>by the <em>Greenlees Brothers</em> on the island of <em>Islay </em>where the Jura peninsula reaches out to meet it across the Sound of Islay. Over the decades, production levels and quality fell. That all changed when <em>Distell Group</em> bought the distillery in <em>2014</em> and put things under the direct control of master distiller<em> Ian MacMillan</em>. With Ian’s guidance, Bunnahabbain has transformed itself into a quality-focused operation where the finest quality is job #1 and evils like chill-filtering and artificial coloring are taboo.</p><p>Bunnahabbain is one of the rare Islay distilleries that makes peated and non-peated Whisky. Quite simply, in Scot’s Gaelic the word <em>“Mòine”</em> means<em> “peat” </em>— as in the peat smoke used to dry the malted barley — and identifies their peated offerings. There is an entire line of Mòine Single Malts with various finishes and aging regimens. But the <em>Bunnahabhain Mòine</em> we are talking about here is the core Single Malt lightly peated, and aged in a combination of <em>ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry, and Red Wine barrels</em>. And even though this is the core Spirit of the peated line, it ia bottled at a very pleasant <em>46.3%</em> ABV.</p>
