The Bunnahabhain (Boon-a-havn) is one of the milder Islay whiskies available and in its taste varies greatly from other fine spirits to be found on the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland. The distillery was built in 1881 and sits below the north-east tip of the island and just north of Port Askaig. The distillery overlooks a narrow belt of water (the Sound of Islay) with a magnificent view of the neighbouring island of Jura (which also has a working distillery) and its famous hills, the "Paps of Jura".

The Black Bottle blended whisky is also produced by the company that now owns Bunnahabhain.
