Islay without the peat. Bunnahabhain is the island's gentle giant, making mostly unpeated whisky at its remote distillery on the north-east coast.
The 18-year-old is matured in a mix of sherry and bourbon casks and bottled at 46.3% with no chill filtration or added colour. It's rich, nutty and warming, with just a hint of sea salt to remind you where it's from.
Who it's for: Sherried-whisky lovers, and anyone who thinks they don't like Islay.
How to enjoy it: Neat, after dinner.
