About BunnahabhainScotland

Bunnahabhain stands near Port Askaig on the north east coast of Islay and was only reachable by boat until a road was built in 1960. It was established in 1881 by the blender William Robertson with the brothers William and James Greenlees, and production began in 1883. Highland Distilleries took it over in 1887; it closed in 1981 and reopened in 1984, and in 2003 it was sold to Burn Stewart Distillers, which later became part of Distell and, from 2023, CVH Spirits. The whisky is known for an unpeated style, often matured in sherry casks. Since the late 1990s the distillery has also made a heavily peated spirit sold as Mòine and other peated releases, and it bottles limited cask finishes as distillery exclusives, including releases for the Fèis Ìle festival.
