Islay Festival 2017: Bunnahabhain open day

The penultimate day of Fèis Ìle 2017 involved sunbathing, paddling and ice creams – a complete contrast to the downpours experienced at Jura and Kilchoman. The sun had reappeared for Bunnahabhain’s open day (2 June), and brought the crowds with it to celebrate all things whisky on Islay’s northeast coast.

Scotchwhisky.com editor Becky Paskin caught up with Bunnahabhain’s master blender Kirstie McCallum for a taste of this year’s limited edition festival bottlings.
