Bunnahabhain - Eirigh Na Greine
Morning Sky
Bunnahabhain means “mouth of the river” in Gaelic, The Distillery found its home on the remote briny coast of the remote Scottish island of Islay. It’s the most northern distillery, which should be enough for them to be knighted the King of the North (of Islay).
When the Bunnahabhain distillery was founded in 1881, it relied heavily on the sea trade. When you taste their Whiskies, it’s like being on a boat: the smell of the sea and a whiff of peat smoke.
The water used to produce this their malts rises from limestone springs and travels through a pipeline to the distillery. This process ensures that the water has no contact with peat on its way to the distillery. Therefore, unlike most other Islay malt whiskies, Bunnahabhain is characterized by a lower peat content.
Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine (pronounced: ae-ree ne gray-nyuh) means "morning sky" in Gaelic. Various single malts, including some of the best aged in former red wine casks, are blended for this Bunnahabhain.

A well-rounded flavor profile with hints of raspberries and honey, leaving a smoky and spicy finish.
Natalie Campbell
Upon sampling, I tasted blend of toasted sugar and raspberry notes on the nose. The palate offered a pleasing combination of apricot and sea salt, heightened by a hint of black pepper. The finish was smoky and long.

With notes of toasted sugar and vanilla, this whisky exudes an absolute delight to the senses. The aroma of raspberries and a hint of honey adds a touch of elegance to its profile. On the palate, the combination of apricot and sea salt creates a unique and captivating experience that is both smoky and long-lasting.
