Bunnahabhain
Encyclopedia : B : BU : BUN : Bunnahabhain
The Bunnahabhain (Boon-a-havn) is one of the milder Islay whiskies available and in its taste varies greatly from other fine spirits to be found on the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland. The distillery was built in 1881 and sits below the north-east tip of the island and just north of Port Askaig. The distillery overlooks a narrow belt of water (the Sound of Islay) with a magnificent view of the neighbouring island of Jura (which also has a working distillery) and its famous hills, the "Paps of Jura".
Bunnahabhain is also the spiritual home of "Black Bottle", a blend made with a percentage of spirit from all 7 operating distilleries from the island and the rest is made up of finest Northern Highland grain whisky, a good introduction to the spirits of Islay, but not so extreme as to scare people away with its powerful taste.
