The Bunnahabhain distillery is located in the northeastern part of Islay and is built on the estuary of the Margadele River. The first new spirit left the distillery in 1882. Little has changed or modernised in the distillery so far. Launched in the summer of 2010, slightly daring and with a higher alcohol content of up to 46.3%, no chill-filtering and no added coloring, this new version of the 12 year old is a huge step forward.
