B Bunnahabhain 2004 Moine Port Pipe Finish 2017 Feis Ile
Here at Malt, I’m quite adept at having my ear chewed off regarding some contentious topic over, or regarding, a dram. In recent months it’s been about the odd book review, but mostly bottles and specifically the failure to acquire an indicated target. It’s an inevitable situation given the rising prominence of auction sites and […]
4 4 More Claxton’s Whiskies
It wasn’t all that long ago when I reviewed 4 whiskies from the relatively new independent bottler, Claxton’s.

So they sent me some more whiskies […]
B Bunnahabhain Toiteach
Bunnahabhain is set in a beautifully rugged location, in what someone once reliably informed me was “bandit country” on Islay.

B Bunnahabhain 23 Year Old / 1989 / 2013

B Bunnahabhain Darach Ur – Batch 6
I have a soft spot for the Bunnahabhain distillery (pronounced: Boona-Har-Vin). My first proper dram, when I was 17 years old and on holiday in Scotland, was a Bunnahabhain (yes, I know that was underage, but when you’re out in the middle of nowhere I’m certain whisky is a health benefit or something). I remember […]
