The Bunnahabhain Distillery, which lies on the isolated north-eastern tip of the Hebridean Island of Islay has recently released a very special 30 year old limited edition. Only 357 bottles have been filled, each hand-numbered with pride. 
This exclusive 1980 vintage Bunnahabhain Islay single malt Scotch whisky has quietly matured in the distillery’s shore-side warehouses for more than 30 years.  One of the finest examples of the famous Bunnahabhain “gentle taste”, every un-chillfiltered golden drop – of natural cask strength and colour – remains true to our celebrated distilling traditions.           
The pack consists of oak glassware which has been dressed in dual labelling with uncoated cream stock with gold foil and dark chocolate brown foot label.  The bottle sits within an un-dyed leather case – natural in colour, just like our whisky, with branded quaich and parchment contained within a small glass bottle.  A small leather tag embossed with the Bunnahabhain Seafarer and hand printed with the bottle number is attached to the handle.  This fine leather case will darken in colour over time when exposed to the natural elements. 
The liquid within has a natural strength of 45.4%, with a creamy, silky, sweet oak, liquorice and nutmeg taste with citrus notes, vanilla, eucalyptus and a hint of coconut.  The finish is long and elegant with digestive biscuits, lightly spicy with a tingle of ginger and sea salt. 
Katherine Crisp, Brand Manager for Bunnahabhain commented “I am sure Bunnahabhain enthusiasts and newcomers alike will enjoy the creamy sweet oak taste profile of this exclusive 1980 vintage”
