Product Description
With touches of smoke from our peated malted barley, this whisky's prickling strength emanates from the dram, while warming with a lingering, robust length and delicately sweet sherry influence. Bunnahabhain (pronounced Bu-na-ha-venn and meaning 'mouth of the river' in Gaelic) has been home to our distillery since 1881. Sitting on the tip of the rugged Isle of Islay, the finest whiskies are distilled here from a natural spring resource to create a pure, soft, distinctive taste/ Toiteach A Dha (pronounced Toch-ach ah-ghaa, meaning 'Smoky Two' in Gaelic) is a sequel to the original peaty paradoc on Bunnahabhain's gentle single malt, with a touch of smoke from out peated malted barley introduced during its creation and combined with a higher sherry influence. Masterfully distilled and quietly matured, this special bottling offers the connoisseur an opportunity to try something truly unique and beguiling in nature. Tasting Notes Colour: light amber gold Palate: immediate warming peatiness drifts to a sweet oloroso sherry influence with rich oak and balanced with delicate pepper Finish: robust length for the discerning palate Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote
The nose opens with aromatic smoke and brine, while red berries, caramel, nutmeg, and cloves develop. … Medium to long in the finish, with drying sherry, oak, pepper, salt, and dark chocolate.
Immediate but soft peat on the nose followed by sweet sherry highlights. … A bit tannic with lots of oak and the finish feels like exhaling a wine soaked cigar. A very different Bunnahabhain indeed.
Subtle pastry notes laced with ripe apricot and sweet bonfire smoke. Long, subtly saline finish.
