The Single Malts of Scotland Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old 2009 is an independent Islay single malt bottled by Elixir Distillers at high cask strength of 55.3% ABV in a standard 700ml bottle, distilled in 2009 and matured for twelve years. It delivers soft medicinal peat, briny coastal sea salt, ripe green apple, creamy vanilla, dried seaweed, wildflower honey and subtle almond nutty notes. Its aromatic bouquet balances gentle smoky maritime character with bright fresh fruit sweetness unique to Bunnahabhain’s mild peated style. The palate offers thick, silky malt with faint ash smoke, crisp orchard fruit and light mineral salinity, leading to an enduring smooth finish with lingering brine, honey and delicate smoky undertones. This approachable coastal Islay malt shines neat or with a tiny splash of spring water to soften its robust strength and reveal layered marine-fruited flavours.
