Single malt makes top 4% in ranking
Bunnahabhain, part of the Burn Stewart Distillers portfolio and involved in a joint venture as equal partners Distell, has just been awarded the Liquid Gold status for its 18-year old single malt in the 2011 Jim Murray Whisky Bible Liquid Gold Awards. This definitive guide to whiskies across the globe covers over 4500 offerings with Liquid Gold conferred on an elite 4% of those earning a score of at least 94/100.
Over a four-month period, Murray tasted more than 1000 whiskies to reach his final selection. In his book, he salutes distillers for "maintaining and furthering the finest traditions of whisky making and taking the craft to the very highest levels."
According to the brand's spokesperson in Africa, Brian Glass, the award is an exceptional honour not only for the whisky but also for master distiller Ian MacMillan who has over 35 years' experience of whisky distilling and blending. It is available from leading liquor outlets and retails for about R725.
