Bunnahabhain continues its Westering Home Collection with the United States launch of An Cuan Garbh No.1, a limited-edition 15-year-old single malt Scotch whisky finished in White Port casks from Portugal’s Douro Valley.

The release marks the second chapter in Bunnahabhain’s three-part Westering Home series, following Turas Math No.1, which introduced the collection’s exploration of movement and anticipation. An Cuan Garbh No.1 (“The Rough Sea”) shifts the focus to the crossing itself, defined by contrast, motion, and change across open water.

Master Blender Julieann Fernandez oversees the Westering Home Collection, guiding each annual release as part of a structured three-year progression that explores different stages of the journey around Islay.

“Each release in the Westering Home Collection captures a different stage of the journey across and around Islay,” Fernandez said in a news release. “With An Cuan Garbh No.1, we focused on contrast and movement, the unpredictability of the sea against the steady evolution of maturation. The White Port casks add fruit and softness, while the whisky remains grounded in Bunnahabhain’s coastal style.”

Influenced by time spent in warehouses overlooking Bunnahabhain Bay, the whisky is shaped by sea air and slow maturation, adding depth and subtle maritime salinity to its profile. It is then bottled at 51.6% ABV (103.2 Proof) and has an MSRP of $204.99.

As the second release in the Westering Home Collection, An Cuan Garbh No.1 continues a three-year series designed for collectors following the full narrative arc across cask, character, and time.

A limited number of bottles of Bunnahabhain Westering Home: An Cuan Garbh No.1 will be available in the United States beginning this month at select retailers.

About Bunnahabhain

Established in 1881, Bunnahabhain is the most northerly of the Islay distilleries and one of the most remote. Bunnahabhain takes its name from the Scottish Gaelic word for ‘mouth of the river’ and refers to the Margadale River from whose clear spring waters the whisky is distilled. Focused on sustainability, Bunnahabhain has the first Net Zero distillation on Islay and is known for its unpeated whisky, due to the pure spring water piped to the distillery and the use of unpeated barley.
