- Description
- Bunnahabhain's 12-year-old from the 2000s represents an earlier iteration of the distillery's core range, bottled at 40% ABV and presented in vintage packaging. Islay's unpeated character shines through with saline minerality and gentle orchard notes, the lower strength allowing greater complexity in the glass. This older bottling provides a window into how Bunnahabhain was presented before modern packaging standards. A historical reference point for those tracking the distillery's consistency over time.
