Since inception in 1881, Bunnahabhain has been producing an Islay malt a little different from most. By not heavily peating their malted barley, the resulting whisky is a clean, pure and distinctive malt.

Ex-sherry cask influence and being non-chill filtered add to the layers of complexity exuding from this premium whisky.

A tribute to the rebirth of their 200 year old distillery. Bladnoch's award winning Master Distiller Ian Macmillan hand selects every cask to bring together this luscious Single Malt full bodied and fragrant with a rich core and lingering tail.

Located in Islays capital of the same name, Bowmore uses a combination of dedicated craftsmen, pure water, smoked peat and traditional manufacturing techniques to ensure that their whisky tastes the same as it did when it was first distilled in 1779.

On the palate, the whisky is warm and delicious with subtle dark chocolate and peat smoke.

In the mouth characters of Charcoal, dry woodiness and iodine followed by chilli chocolate and a hint of toffee.
