Bunnahabhain 1999 Gordon and MacPhail Single Cask / LMDW

Gordon & MacPhail are one of the largest and most recognisable whisky companies in the world. Although they began distilling at the newly refurbished Benromach distillery in 1998, for most of their history they were an independent bottler. Their labels are recognised by whisky lovers the world over, and their licensed bottlings from distillery's like Macallan and Talisker in the 1970s and 1980s, when the companies were not bottling themselves, are a huge part of the success of those distillers today.

This 1999 vintage Bunnahabhain was bpttled as part of their Exclusive range of single casks. A refill American hogshead, cask #516 was specially selected for La Maison du Whisky.

An austere piece of Victorian architecture on the north-east coast of Islay, Bunnahabhain is a relative outsider on the island, traditionally known for producing an un-peated single malt. The majority of this was used for blending, as was its initial intended purpose. The distillery was shut for 2 years in 1982 following the market downturn of the period, and despite being revived at low production, it was eventually officially bottled as a single malt later that decade, with the self-deprecating tag-line, "the un-pronounceable malt."

This Bunnahabhain was distilled on 30th April 2009 and laid to rest in single 1st fill sherry hogshead #448 before being bottled by Gordon & MacPhail on 24th January 2018 as part of the Cask Strength series.
