Bunnahabhain 1980 36 Year Old Canasta Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

Well-matured Islay single malt from the Bunnahabhain distillery - a wonderful sight! This expression was distilled in 1980 and initially matured in oloroso sherry casks, before being moved over to canasta (nothing to do with the card game of the same name) sherry casks for a finishing period. It's bottled at 36 years of age, with an ABV of 49.5%. The wooden presentation box is also aptly handsome for a release quite so intriguing and delicious.

Distillery Information

The Bunnahabhain Distillery was founded in 1881 near Port Askaig on Islay. The village of Bunnahabhain was founded to house its workers. Since 2014 the distillery has been owned by Distell[2] and is one of nine active distilleries on the island. The Bunnahabhain is one of the milder single malt Islay whiskies available and its taste varies greatly from other spirits to be found on the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland. The name Bunnahabhain is an anglicisation of Bun na h-Abhainne, Scottish Gaelic for Mouth of the River.
