Bunnahabhain 1980 Silver Seal 34 Year Old / Whisky is Art
An austere piece of Victorian architecture on the north-east coast of Islay, Bunnahabhain is a relative outsider on the island, traditionally known for producing an un-peated single malt. The majority of this was used for blending, as was its initial intended purpose. The distillery was shut for 2 years in 1982 following the market downturn of the period, and despite being revived at low production, it was eventually officially bottled as a single malt later that decade, with the self-deprecating tag-line, "the un-pronounceable malt."
Silver Seal was founded by Ernesto Mainardi in 2000. This was Mainardi's second bottling company after the esteemed Sestane in 1979. Both companies were sold to Massimo Righi, proprietor of Whisky Antique, in 2010.
This is part of the Whisky is Art series, and was bottled in support of the Rock No War project in Zimbabwe.
The whisky was distilled in 1980 and laid to rest in single cask #84 for 34 years before being botttled in 2014. One of 270 bottles.
