Description
Islay's remote north east coast might seem a strange place to find a substantial Victorian distillery, but it was chosen in 1881 by William Robertson in partnership with Greenlees Bros. as the perfect spot for his island vision. Constructing it meant not only building the distillery but houses as well, putting in a road, and adding on a pier so that casks and barley could come in, and whisky go out. Bunnahabhain is a Gaelic term meaning 'mouth of the river', referring to the Margadale River which flows nearby. This is a glorious celebration of the finest Islay malts, and as is traditional, in memory of the traditions that are so delightfully enriching each dram is a single malt. 'Moine' is the Gaelic word for peated, and this 2010 vintage has been finished in Amontillado sherry hogsheads.
