Bunnahabhain Distillery
Bun na h-Abhainn
A distillery in a bay at the northeast tip of the island, known for its gentle, lightly peated style. There is a shipwreck on the beach.
Bunnahabhain was founded in 1881. Unlike the heavily peated distilleries on the south coast, its core expressions contain almost no peat and carry notes of nuts and sherry. The distillery sits at the end of a roughly 6 km single-track road and faces the Sound of Jura. On a nearby beach, the wreck of the 'Wyre Majestic' is a favorite photo spot. The distillery café overlooks the sound, and tours require advance booking. It is about a 15-minute drive from Port Askaig.
