Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old – Thompson Bros Madeira Wood

Discover this outstanding Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, independently bottled by Thompson Bros of Dornoch in the Scottish Highlands.

Matured in Madeira wine wood and bottled at 46.1% ABV, this beautifully expressive Islay single malt combines Bunnahabhain's signature unpeated, coastal character with rich red berries, citrus fruits, warming spice and honeyed sweetness.

Presented at natural colour and without chill filtration, this release showcases the rich, oily texture and maritime character for which Bunnahabhain is celebrated, enhanced by the distinctive influence of Madeira wine casks.

Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Thompson Bros Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and oily with distinctive coastal minerality. Ripe red berries and vibrant citrus oils lead into toasted cinnamon, warming baking spices and a delicate touch of peanut brittle.
• Palate: Wonderfully mouth-coating, with fresh orange peel, spicy cinnamon and coastal mineral notes. Honey, walnut oil and soft red fruits bring richness and balance.
• Finish: Long and warming, with honeyed sweetness, toasted baking spices and lingering walnut oil. The finish retains Bunnahabhain's unmistakable unpeated Islay coastal character.

Madeira Cask Matured Bunnahabhain Whisky

This independently bottled Bunnahabhain has been matured in Madeira wine wood, bringing an additional layer of fruit, sweetness and spice to the distillery's naturally rich spirit.

Madeira wine casks can contribute flavours of ripe fruit, warming spice and nutty sweetness, beautifully complementing Bunnahabhain's distinctive coastal minerality and oily texture.

The result is a richly flavoured 12-year-old Islay single malt that offers a different perspective on one of Scotland's most respected unpeated whisky distilleries.

About Bunnahabhain Distillery

Founded in 1881, Bunnahabhain Distillery is situated on the north-eastern coast of the Isle of Islay, overlooking the Sound of Islay.
