Bunnahabhain (pronounced "Boo-na-ha-venn") is unique among [Islay distilleries](/journal/islay-whisky-pilgrimage-guide) for its predominantly unpeated single malt, offering a lighter, fruitier, and nuttier character with a gentle maritime influence. The name is Gaelic for "mouth of the river," and the distillery sits on the remote northeast coast of Islay, accessible only by a single-track road, with stunning views across the Sound of Islay to the Paps of Jura.
