Bunnahabhain 1963 is a rare single malt from the Islay region that aged for 33 years in oak until its bottling in 1997. It reflects a period before the distillery style shifted, offering a profile that is notably sweeter and more delicate than modern releases found on the island today. The spirit successfully avoids the over-oaked pitfalls of long maturation by retaining a core of vibrant orchard fruit, showing remarkable preservation for a liquid distilled in the early sixties. It is a contemplative dram that benefits from significant time in the glass to allow tertiary notes of mushroom and old library books to surface. The nose reveals crystallised ginger and raisins, while the palate remains gentle with peach and a crackle of spicy energy, leading to a finish of light peat that fades with grace.

The Lighter Side of Islay

Often known as the "gateway malt" for those looking to explore the smoky malts of Islay, Bunnahabhain is more lightly peated than most other whiskies produced on the island. Situated on the north-eastern coast, the distillery name means "mouth of the river" in Gaelic.

Historically noted for a waxy, oily mouthfeel, low peat levels and a hint of sea spray, Bunnahabhain have since experimented with more heavily peated drams, in-keeping with the style of their island neighbours. The youngest age statement in the core range is 12 years old while limited edition cask finishes have won the distillery awards globally.
