About Bunnahabhain

Bunnahabhain is a whisky distillery. Bunnahabhain 1990 28 Year Old Thompson Bros is an age-stated bottling at 28 years old, distilled in 1990.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1990), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Considerable age

    A 28-year age statement reflects long maturation and the small surviving volume that implies — older stock is scarcer.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as brosthompson, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
