With the fortunes of Bunnahabhain and Tobermory (or at least their peated variant, Ledaig) on the rise, Deanston often seems to be the black sheep of the family. Lately, however, we're seeing a growing number of customers asking for this distillery by name. Deanston tends to be both a little...uh...dumpy (in a good way, trust me!) and kinda nutty. It looks like this may be changing though. Watch this space for future releases to confirm! But this dumpier style can be a little challenging for a generation of whisky drinkers used to getting smacked upside the head with gargantuan peat or drizzled in syrupy sherry. If you want to expand your horizons...this bottle is a 'must'. Ex-Bourbon Hogshead.

A few years back Bunnahabhain bumped their strength up to 46.3%, bottling it without colouring or chill-filtering. This is the entry level bottling of the Bunnahabhain Distillery, known as the "Gentle Giant of Islay." Bunnahabhain's whisky is generally unpeated, bucking the trend of most Islay distilleries, though it does also produce peated malts. Bunnahabhain is the anchor whisky of the Black Bottle Blend.
Producer Description
"As the original member of our current Core Range, Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old holds a special place in our hearts. First launched in 1979, the Bunnahabhain 12 year old has endured almost 40 years, thanks to the passion and dedication of our distillery team, not to mention the love and support from our fans and friends around the world.
"Our 12 Year Old has set the tone and the benchmark for the rest of the range – only the best will do. Double Matured in Ex Bourbon and Ex Sherry Casks, this whisky is beautifully rich and full-bodied, achieving the perfect balance of the characteristic nutty and sherry flavours of Bunnahabhain."
