Bunnahabhain 14 Year Old Pedro Ximenez Finish 108.6pf

Bunnahabhain (pronounced “bun-na-ha-ven” and meaning “mouth of the river” in Gaelic) is a whisky distillery located on the remote island of Islay just off the west coast of Scotland. Unlike most Islay whiskies, the Bunnahabhain single malt Scotch whiskies are not heavily peated or smoky.

The brand dates back to 1881 when William Robertson (of wine and spirits brokers Robertson & Baxter) co-founded the distillery with the Greenlees brothers (also well-known in the whisky business at the time). By 1883, the distillery’s whisky production was in full swing and, in 1963, the increased popularity of Scotch led to the number of stills being doubled.

The early 1980s saw a decline in the whisky market and the distillery was mothballed in 1982 although production resumed just two years later. In the years that followed, Bunnahabhain passed through several different owners before it was acquired by the Distell Group in 2013.
