Rare Auld Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distilled at
BUNNAHABHAIN DISTILLERY
In 1881 Bunnahabhain Distillery
(meaning "Mouth of the river" in Gaelic) was established
on the Isle of Islay and merged with W. Grant & Co (Glenrothes)
in 1887 to create Highland Distilleries Co Ltd. The Bunnahabhain
distillery was expanded in 1963 and a second pair of stills were
added. Bunnahabhain is a major contributor to Famous Grouse and
Black Bottle blended Scotch Whisky.
