Regular readers will surely know that Bunnahbhain is one of my favorite distilleries in all of Scotland. Whether by the low road or the high road, Bunnahabhain stands out. The sea-facing warehouse, which rests on the banks of the Sound of Islay, enjoys a cool, salty breeze that adds a touch of saline to the whisky as it ages. “Over the years, you get this slight salty taste,” says Andrew Brown, Bunnahabhain’s distillery manager. “The older the whisky gets, the saltier it becomes. It’s not overpowering – it’s just a hint.” This Bunnahabhain 33 Year Old Single Malt was distilled in 1980 and matured in an American oak cask that was previously used to age bourbon. The whisky was bottled in 2013 by James MacArthur at 90 proof without the use of chill filtration or any artificial coloring. I look forward to opening a bottle with you on Thursday evening.
