| My first cask strength ! |
Another Birthday treat, this time from daughter Kat.
Distilled at the Bunnahabhain (pronounced BOO-na-HAven )on
the 11th December 1997 and aged in two hogsheads (numbers 5501 and 5550 ) for
13 years before bottling on the 13th December 2010.
A release of 588 bottles of
cask strength, heavily peated Bunnahabhain. Mine is No. 248
Deriving from the Gaelic for ‘mouth of the river’, Bunnahabhain
was founded in 1881 by William Robertson and brothers James and William
Greenless. A very smooth, easy-drinking Islay malt. In relative solitude,
Bunnahabhain is the Northern-most Islay distillery. It sits in a large bay to
the North East of the isle, drawing its water from the Margadale Spring.

Love what Andrew Symington has been doing with Signatory. His little Edradour distillery in Pitlochry is a wonderful place to visit. One day I will go again without the car or at least a local place to sleep.
The warehouses there are stocked with some rare treasures.
