Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine

Named after the Gaelic phrase for “Morning Sky”, Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine is a small-batch release crafted with a generous proportion of ex-red wine cask-matured whisky of varying ages. Bottled at 46.3% ABV and presented in a rare 1-litre format, this unpeated Islay single malt offers a richer, fruit-forward take on Bunnahabhain’s coastal house style. Only a limited number of cases are produced annually, making it an enticing choice for collectors and wine-cask whisky lovers alike.

Bunnahabhain Distillery

Established in 1881 on Islay’s rugged northeast coast, Bunnahabhain is known for its elegant, often unpeated expressions—a contrast to the island’s typically smoky style. With a strong focus on natural colour, non-chill filtration, and cask-driven complexity, the distillery has earned a loyal following for its sherried and wine-influenced releases. Bunnahabhain continues to stand out for its maritime character and gentle, layered whisky.
