Bunnahabhain 1968 The Family Silver is a single malt from the Islay region bottled in the mid-1990s as a high-end official release. This 1968 distillation captures the waxy and floral style of the distillery that predates modern wood management. The spirit was matured in a combination of refill bourbon and Sherry casks, resulting in a profile of heather honey, dried apricot and sea salt. It is an unpeated expression that highlights the oily texture and maritime salinity of the Sound of Islay. On the palate, the liquid is rounded and displays flavours of malted barley and soft wood spice. The finish is elegant and sustained, with a light floral character and a dry, salty conclusion.

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.
