Bunnahabhain is a well-regarded distillery on the island of Islay, known for its maritime-influenced whiskies. While Islay is famous for its heavily peated whiskies, Bunnahabhain`s standard expressions are usually lighter, emphasizing the malt`s fruity and nutty character with gentle peat, although they also produce peated versions. The 1998 Bunnahabhain Manzanilla Finish Fèis Ìle is a special release for the annual Islay Festival of Music and Malt (Fèis Ìle). These festival releases are often highly sought after and provide a unique twist on the distillery`s house style.
