A giant leap forward for Bunnahabhain 12yo, this edition was launched in summer 2010 with a jump in strength to 46.3% and a declaration of no chill-filtration and no added colouring. The producers deserve enormous credit for giving punters what they want without jacking up the price too much and we earnestly hope that this will be a massive success. Bravo!

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes by Billy A
-
Nose:
Briny and earthy, with camphor, apples, sea salt, a hint of oranges and salted caramel.
-
Palate:
Syrupy in texture with vanilla and a light smokiness, more woody than peaty. Water brought out more sweet creamy vanilla and some perfume from the wood, as well as some sticky glacé cherry.
-
Finish:
Dry with woody spice.

A lovely subtle hint of smoke balanced with sweet autumnal fruits and a marzipan finish.
-
A good single malt with a hint wood smoke
-
Excellent dram.
-
Rich, velvety goodness. Complex on the nose, there's a touch of pear, orange, apple and spices. Quite strong, this deserves a splash of water to smooth it. It coats the mouth and only has a faint hint of peat & smoke. Beautiful.
-
My go-to Scotch. Try as I might, I always return to Bunnahabhain.
-
Outstanding, approachable Islay single malt.
-
Excellent – an Islay malt which doesn’t depend on it’s peat flavour. It’s complex, sweet, and smooth with just enough of a nod to its islay heritage. One to cherish and enjoy.
-
Not your typical Islay single malt. But that's the attraction. Instead of peat I get cream and vanilla. It is a beautifully balanced 12 year old. It also has a subtle smoke that comes later. The finish is smooth and lingering. A must for your single malt collection.

Bunnahabhain 12 is my favorite dram for any price!
-
(Disclaimer: Not a whisky expert by any means and I have a damaged nose). On the nose I get some apple/orange/dried fruit. More like a Highland whisky than a typical Islay to be honest. Something a bit bourbony way to back in my nose, vanilla? On the palate I get less apple but more warm fruit and orangey type flavours. A bit of spice and a nice semi-oily texture. Finish, some almost roasted coffee flavours even some oak? Overall a good whisky with very good presenation. The now almost standardized 46% among mid-ranged whiskies is nice and also the bottle design and natural colour is top-notch and raises this barely to a 5/5 for me. Good whisky, even better product.

Nice smooth whisky, went down great after my evening meal
-
Great after meal finish. Smooth and slightly sweet. Loved it.
-
It's a nice malt but if you like peated Islay malts then this is not particularly peated.
-
I was impressed! This Scotch has a very satisfying smell and taste. For an Islay, it is not overwhelming with peaty flavor. It is just right.
-
Very satisfying taste, strikes right to the core of flavour.
-
Just finished a dram and found it to be everything I missed in Macallan
-
Great Whisky!
-
Just stumbled upon it (not literally) last year and it’s become my sipping Whiskey. A hint of peat, a warm smooth finish – my go-to Scotch.
-
Used to love it. Bought one - cork fell apart. Whisky ruined. Distillery ignored emails.
-
I really enjoyed this. I love the hint of caramel and vanilla combined with a subtle oaky smoke.
