BUNNAHABHAIN 12 YEAR OLD CASK STRENGTH 2025 – LIMITED EDITION RELEASE

The Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Cask Strength 2025 Edition is the latest annual release from Islay’s most distinctive coastal distillery. Known for producing unpeated single malts with a sherried, maritime character, Bunnahabhain has built a cult following among whisky lovers who value balance and authenticity over smoke and intensity.

This new Bunnahabhain Cask Strength bottling is matured in a combination of first, second and refill Oloroso sherry casks and presented at its full natural strength of 56.4% ABV. Unchill-filtered and with no added colour, it is a whisky that captures the purest expression of the distillery’s spirit.

THE ESSENCE OF BUNNAHABHAIN

Unlike many of its Islay neighbours, Bunnahabhain has built its reputation on unpeated whisky. Instead of heavy smoke, the distillery focuses on rich sherry maturation, coastal freshness, and layered complexity. Every year, the Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Cask Strength release pays tribute to this house style while offering something unique through the selection of casks.

The 2025 release, crafted by Master Blender Julieann Fernandez, highlights predominantly second-fill Oloroso casks, supported by first-fill and refill casks. This careful balance ensures that the sherry influence enhances rather than dominates, allowing the distillate itself to shine.
