Furnishings & DecorThe multi-award winning Bunnahabhain single malt from Islay has once again been highlighted as one of the best at the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The competition which saw 1 024 different spirits from 57 countries judged blind by a panel of 30 leading US whisky connoisseurs, awarded both the Bunnahabhain 18 and 25 year olds gold medals.
Bunnahabhain hails from the world-renowned Isle of Islay off the west-coast of Scotland. Meaning mouth of the river in Scottish Gaelic, it is pronounced B?-na-ha-venn and refers to the Margadale River which flows close by. Unlike most other single malts from Islay, Bunnhabhain is known for its gentle taste profile and unique character, largely the result of unpeated malted barley also enhanced by the pure spring water that flows freely underground, untainted by the peaty moorlands on this isolated coastal sanctuary.
The distillery produces three single malts – a 12-, 18- and 25-year old, all crafted by master distiller Ian MacMillan, who has over 30 years’ experience in whisky distilling.
It is best to enjoy these warm and welcoming single malts neat or with a dash of water to really savour their wonderful combination of flavours. The 18-year old, with its fragrant nose of honeyed nuts, subtle sea-induced salty tang and wafts of toffee and leather is balanced by sweet oak spice and sherry on the palate. The 25-year old announces itself with a sweet aroma of caramel and flavours of berries and cream, balanced by roasted nuts and malt, ending in a tantalising dry finish.
The Bunnahabhain 18-year old retails for about R710 and the 25-year old for R1 800 per 750ml bottle. For more
