Bunnahabhain Sign Up Information

Hello,

In light of F?is ?le being cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are delighted to bring ''F?is at Home'' to you. Bringing the fun of the Bunnahabhain open day online, we''ll be coming live from the distillery throughout the day! Our team will also be tasting our new festival releases and answering your questions at 8pm (BST) on the 29th May.

Hello,

We can''t believe it''s already been just over a week since our F?is at Home event! Thank you to everyone who joined us for a dram, we hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did! If you missed it, or would like to watch again, you can find the full tasting with our panel here!

F?is ?le might be over for another year, but there''s plenty more to look forward to and join in from the comfort of your own home!

Our friends at Whisky-Me are hosting a live tasting with Dr. Billy Sinclair, our Visitor Centre Manager, on the 17th June.

They will be comparing our peated Toiteach A Dh? with the classic non peated Bunnahabhain 12 year old.

Find out more here.

Our ambassador in Canada, Mike Brisebois, has been busy recently sharing a virtual dram with his followers. Find him on Instagram to stay up to date with what he''s up to, or why not join him at his next tasting?

The team in Germany have been busy tasting some Bunnahabhain favourites, alongside drams from our sister distilleries; Deanston and Tobermory. You can find out more information about their latest one here.

Festive & Brexit Shipping Update

Hi All,

We hope you are well and looking forward to the festive holidays, as we are here on Islay. Thank you for all your whisky orders which have been keeping the Distillery Shipping Elves very busy!

We have two important updates for you:

FESTIVE SHIPPING

We expect all orders to be with you in time for Christmas as per last shipping dates below:

• Rest of the World: Friday 11th December, 2020
• Europe: Thursday 17th December, 2020
• UK: Monday 21st December, 2020

We have been inundated with orders these past few weeks which has been amazing. We really appreciate your understanding as we have processed these for you - there are certainly going to be some quality 'Festive Spirits' in households this year!

BREXIT UPDATE
Temporary suspension of online sales to Europe.

Tuesday 22nd December, 2020 until Tuesday 5th January, 2021.

As we are fast approaching the UK's departure from the European Union, we have been notified by our facilitating partner that all road shipments will be ceasing from Tuesday 22nd December until 5th of January, 2021.

Therefore, we will unfortunately not be able to process online sales through this period to mainland Europe. We understand this is disappointing, but we do not want your whisky being held up somewhere other than your own house and whisky cabinets.

We have been notified that road transport services will resume from the 5th of January, 2021. The situation continues to evolve and we will be able to notify you all with a clearer detail of any cost changes and protocol in the New Year. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Normal Whisky Service until Tuesday 22nd, December 2020

We have been advised that all dispatches to mainland Europe up to Tuesday 22nd December will be fulfilled.

Warehouse 9 Experience

Join us in our warehouse 9 for an exclusive tasting of unpeated and peated (Moine) whisky taken straight from the cask. Hidden away from the outside world in the distillery's converted floor maltings, this experience is a must for any Bunnahabahain fan!

The Bunnahabhain Team

Hello,

We are very pleased to introduce you to our two new limited editions!

These limited editions are the first created by our new Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez and include a delicious M?ine (peated) and unpeated single malt.

Look out for these at the distillery, in your local specialist retailer and a very limited number of bottles on our online shop.

Read on for more information about our new releases.

2008 Manzanilla Cask Matured

Like our whisky, Manzanilla sherry is also made beside the ocean and, like us, its distinctive flavour is influenced by the salty spray. What better then, than to combine the two? Every golden drop of this divine single malt has been carefully matured in former Manzanilla casks for a full 11 years.

Resting amid the gentle echo of the Sound of Islay, its resulting character runs deep with salted caramel and swims with sublime currents of oak, nuts and fruit.

1997 M?ine Cask Finish

Lovingly crafted from the finest peated barley and crystal-clear spring water, this whisky is purified in the tallest stills on the island and left to mature for 19 years.

Next, we carefully pour every amber drop into casks that once held the finest Pedro Ximenez sherry, then leave it to age for a further three years. The result is a cask strength malt that perfectly captures the inexorable intertwining of Islay and peat; the rich dark soil giving each drop its distinctive depth of flavour.
