Bunnahabhain - Toiteach A Dhà

Smokey Two

Bunnahabhain means “mouth of the river” in Gaelic, The Distillery found its home on the remote briny coast of the remote Scottish island of Islay. It’s the most northern distillery, which should be enough for them to be knighted the King of the North (of Islay).

When the Bunnahabhain distillery was founded in 1881, it relied heavily on the sea trade. When you taste their Whiskies, it’s like being on a boat: the smell of the sea and a whiff of peat smoke.

The water used to produce this their malts rises from limestone springs and travels through a pipeline to the distillery. This process ensures that the water has no contact with peat on its way to the distillery. Therefore, unlike most other Islay malt whiskies, Bunnahabhain is characterized by a lower peat content.

The successor to Bunnahabhain Toiteach is Bunnahabhain Toiteach A Dhà. Translated, the name means "smoky two", so a smoky continuation. However, the sherry content has been increased compared to the normal Toiteach. This does this elegant Islay dram of course really good and should particularly delight the Bunnahabhain fans, who are not only fixated on peat bombs.

The whiskey is bottled without cold filtration and without additional colorants.
