Bunnahabhain 1986 21 Year Old is a single malt from the Islay region that illustrates the distillery’s transition into a more fruit-forward style during the mid-1980s. This bottling is often compared to older styles of Sherried malt, exhibiting an elegance with notes of prunes, raisins and milk chocolate. It is a refined spirit that balances a creamy mouthfeel with a nervous, peppery energy that keeps the palate lively. The nose features dried figs and sultanas, leading to a palate of ginger liqueur and cocoa powder. The finish is medium-long and more chocolatey than many modern equivalents.

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.
