Description:
Abhainn Araig or ‘Araig River’ in English, is a river located on the beautiful isle of Islay that feeds in to the Margadale River which is the pure spring water source for all Bunnahabhain whisky. This expression is a marriage of Bunnahabhain spirit that has been matured in ex-Bourbon casks, ex-Oloroso sherry casks and ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry, octave casks, made from the finest specially seasoned European oak.

These highly concentrated Octave casks were hand-selected to push the boundaries of sherry maturation. Not all whiskies stand up to full maturation in sherry casks, let alone specially seasoned octaves. Bunnahabhain, however, really stands up to this challenge.

This special, limited festival whisky is quintessentially ‘Bunnahabhain’ – unpeated, sherried, bold and complex. Bottled with natural colour, non-chill filtered at 50.8% ABV.

An Interesting Fact
This was actually the first whisky that Bunna’s Master Distiller, Brendan McCarron, tasted when he joined Bunnahabhain in 2021 on his first visit to the distillery following his appointment!
