Bunnahabhain An Cladach Single Malt Whisky is a sherry-driven expression with enough spiced backing it up to balance the sweetness handsomely. The name means “The Shore” in Scots Gaelic – apt, considering Bunnahabhain’s location on the north-east coast of Islay.
Initially a travel retail exclusive, this expression of Bunnahabhain is now available through specialist retailers such as ourselves. The name means ‘The Shore’ and has been chosen because the distillery sits in a dramatic location on the shore of Islay looking out to the Paps of Jura. A high proportion of sherry casks have been used for an unspecified length of maturation and bottling is done at an impressive 50%. Made using Bunnahabhain’s main signature unpeated malt, so there’s no Islay smokiness here.
The Bunnahabhain brand also offers other products like the Bunnahabhain cruach mhona , Bunnahabhain 12 years, Bunnahabhain eirigh na greine, which we are are available at our liquor store.

The Bunnahabhain Distillery (pronounced Boon-a-havn and meaning rivermouth in Gaelic) was built in 1881 on the north-eastern tip of the enchanting isle of Islay. It was incorporated in 1882 by the Islay Distillery Co. and then later merged with Wm. Grant & Co. to form Highland Distillers. Burn Stewart Distillers Ltd. acquired Bunnahabhain and the distillery in 2003 along with Black Bottle.
Burn Stewart Distillers Ltd. carried out extensive research amongst its consumers and ultimately decided to evolve and update the look of the brand. A “journey of discovery” lies at the heart of the brand. It encompasses a distinguished heritage, a remote idyllic environment whose geography and history are entwined with hardy seafaring lore and, above all, a liquid with a unique, surprisingly gentle and delicate taste profile.
The gentle taste of Bunnahabhain is due partly to the lightly peated malted barley used in its creation as well as the pure spring waters of the Margadale River, trapped underground away from the peaty moorlands. The nose offers a fresh and aromatic experience with a subtle whiff of smoke floating through the air. The taste starts with a light fruit and nut appeal that leads to a spectacular malty sweetness, finishing into a beautifully rich, full-bodied, lingering experience.
