Description
The Bunnahabhain «Moine», which means «peat» in Gaelic, is characterised by a strong note of earthy peat smoke that accompanies the peppery, maritime base. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, flavours such as toffee, citrus, vanilla cream and black pepper characterise the palate, accompanied by a salty finish reminiscent of a sea breeze. Superb whisky made in the classic Islay style. This is an exclusive bottling for Baur au Lac Vins in collaboration with The Whisky Cellar.

Scotland
Scotland – Wild history, warming whisky
Whiskey, bagpipes, kilts – These are the most famous elements of Scottish culture. It has not been conclusively determined who invented whisky. The Scots and Irish both argue that they invented the “water of life.” Food and drink definitely tops the Scottish export categories. Every second, around 40 bottles of whisky are purchased. So it’s hardly surprising that whisky makes up around 80 percent of total food and drink exports.
