Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old is the premium age-stated expression from the Islay distillery known for producing both unpeated and peated expressions — the 18-year is the unpeated flagship, matured in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks to produce a rich, maritime, and complex Highland-Islay single malt at 46.3% ABV without chill filtration.
Bunnahabhain’s unpeated expressions show the distillery’s natural maritime character without peat smoke — the coastal Islay location, sea air, and sherry cask maturation producing a distinctive richness and brine that sets Bunnahabhain apart from both mainland Highland malts and peated Islay expressions. At 18 years this character reaches its most developed and integrated form in the standard range. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bunnahabhain 18 peated?
No — the 18 Year is the unpeated flagship of the Bunnahabhain range. The distillery’s peated expressions (Stiiùireadair, Toiteach A Dhà) are separate products. The 18 Year showcases Islay character through maritime brine and sherry cask maturation without peat influence.
How does Bunnahabhain 18 compare to the 12 Year?
Six additional years of sherry and bourbon cask maturation produces significantly more complexity — deeper dried fruit, richer chocolate and spice from the extended sherry influence, and a longer more complex finish.
