Bunnahabhain shares its name with the
village that grew up around it. In
effect, the development of the
Bunnahabhain distillery created a
community dependent upon it for
employment. In doing so, an entire
village emerged, complete with
schoolhouse and village hall. Prior to
the building of the distillery, the
adjacent area was inhospitable and
uninhabited.
Bunnahabhain was designed
from the start as a high-output malt
distillery with 95% of the malt whisky
produced their going into blends such as
The Famous Grouse and Black Bottle.
Built round a courtyard, in
a style that resembles a Bordeaux
chateau, the distillery today is little
changed.
Bunnahabhain's water is piped
from streams in the surrounding hills
and is therefore less peaty than might
be expected. It is sweeter than most of the other Islay malts, with a
smooth initial palate and long full
finish. Lighter than the Islay style,
with a full round flavour. A popular
after-dinner dram.
