Bunnahabhain 32 Year Old 1989 Dragon Gael Skene Whisky
The Dragon Geal Bunnahabhain 1989 32-Year-Old is a rare unpeated Islay single malt whisky, matured for more than three decades in carefully selected oak casks. Distilled in 1989 and aged for 32 years, this exceptional expression showcases the refined character for which Bunnahabhain is renowned. Layers of rich oak, dried fruit, gentle spice, and subtle maritime salinity come together in a whisky of remarkable depth and balance, while the distillery's signature coastal elegance remains evident throughout. Produced in limited quantities, this highly collectible release is a distinguished addition to any serious whisky collection.
Bunnahabhain Distillery
Bunnahabhain distillery was built in 1881. From the start, the project was a massive task. A pier to load and unload barrels was needed. A road and houses for the distillery workers was also needed. Some £30 000 (£2.6 million in today's money) were spent building it.
While many distilleries on the island supplied blenders and sold their spirit as single malt, Bunnahabhain did not. All of its production was being sold to blenders. Three major blends, Cutty Sark, Famous Grouse and Black Bottle used the spirit from this distillery.
In the 1963 the production capacity of the distillery was doubled. Less than two decades later, the distillery was mothballed for a couple of years. When the distillery reopened, it kept on supplying blenders. The owners of the distillery, The Edrington Group, sold it in 2003 to Burn Stewart. Their parent company went bust in 2009 and South African distributors Distell acquired it. Bunnahabhain has gone from strength to strength ever since.
