Portrait: What makes the Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine special
The Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine is a special single malt whisky from the Scottish island of Islay, named after the Gaelic expression for "morning sky" (pronounced: Ai-ree ne grai-nyuh). The Bunnahabhain distillery, founded in 1881, is considered one of the most traditional distilleries in the region - known for its comparatively mild, unpeated style, which differs from the typical smoky Islay whiskies.
For Eirigh Na Greine, Bunnahabhain selects carefully matured casks, including those that previously held French and Italian red wine. This selection not only gives the whisky depth and complexity, but also a special note of origin that combines the character of Mediterranean wines with the maritime influence of Islay.
The whisky is part of an exclusive bottling originally intended for travel retail and has since also attracted considerable attention from collectors and enthusiasts. The combination of name, origin, and cask selection makes Eirigh Na Greine a powerful representative of the Bunnahabhain philosophy: artisanal, tradition-conscious, and yet innovative. A whisky that tells its story not only in its taste, but also in its name.
Tasting Notes: This is how the Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine tastes like
- Nose: Soft aromas of vanilla and caramel open the aroma, accompanied by a hint of mild honey sweetness. Fruity aromas of ripe raspberries lend the bouquet a fresh, lively nuance
- Palate: An elegant balance emerges on the palate. Juicy stone fruits such as apricots and nectarines meet a subtle note of sea salt. Freshly ground pepper provides a pleasant spiciness and underlines the depth of the whisky
- Finish: The finish is long, spicy, and accompanied by a subtle trail of smoke. The combination of fruit, spice, and a hint of smoke ensures a lasting and complex finish
