Bunnahabhain Distillery is a historic Scotch whisky distillery on the northeast coast of Islay, founded in 1881. It's unique among Islay distilleries for producing mainly unpeated or lightly peated single malts, offering a smooth, rich character with sherry and maritime influences, rather than the typical heavy smoke of the region.
The distillery is remote and scenic, with a relaxed, personal visitor experience that reflects its quiet charm.
