Celebrate the spirit of Islay with the Bunnahabhain Feis Ìle 2026 An Cuan Garbh No. 1 White Port Cask Finish, a limited-edition single malt crafted exclusively for the renowned Feis Ìle Festival. This special release showcases Bunnahabhain's signature unpeated coastal character, elevated through a distinctive finish in White Port casks, adding layers of vibrant fruit and elegant sweetness.
Named "An Cuan Garbh" ("The Rough Sea" in Gaelic), this whisky reflects the rugged coastline surrounding the distillery, balancing maritime salinity with rich orchard fruits and creamy vanilla. The White Port cask influence brings bright citrus, honeyed stone fruits, and delicate floral notes while preserving the distillery's classic nutty and malty backbone.

Bottled at natural color and non-chill filtered, this limited festival expression offers an authentic taste of Bunnahabhain's craftsmanship.
