Bunnahabhain Unveils An Cuan Garbh No.1
Bunnahabhain Distillery has unveiled a new whisky in its Westering Home Collection: An Cuan Garbh No.1.
The latest bottling is the second chapter in Bunnahabhain’s three-year Westering Home Collection, inspired by the famous anthem of Islay and the emotional pull of returning home. Following 2025’s series, Turas Math (Setting Sail), the 2026 series – An Cuan Garbh (The Rough Sea) – takes the story to its centralh chapter.
The first of three releases in this chapter, An Cuan Garbh No.1 is a 15 year old single malt finished in White Port casks from Portugal’s Douro Valley. An Cuan Garbh No.1 is presented with no added color, non-chill filtered, and at 51.6% ABV.
Bunnahabhain An Cuan Garbh No.1 is described as having aromas of “honeysuckle, elderflower, orchard fruit, candied citrus, and honey warmth.” The palate exhibits flavors of “peach, apricot, candied lemon zest, honeyed almonds, toasted malt, and ginger spice.” It finishes with “lingering nutty warmth with sweet candied fruit.”
Bunnahabhain An Cuan Garbh No.1 is available now via bunnahabhain.com for £150.00. An Cuan Garbh No.2 and An Cuan Garbh No.3 will launch during Fèis Ìle and will be available exclusively at the distillery and via the Bunnahabhain website.
