With almost 18 years experience, working at Bunnahabhain is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to why John is the man at the helm in the distillery.
An Islay man born* and bred, John knows the island better than most. He has worked on the land as a crofter and out at sea on the fishing boats. So it is easy to see why he is the perfect man to oversee the distillery. Who else would take better care of the gentle taste of Islay?
*Well, actually, not strictly ‘born’. You see, as with most first born children on Islay, John was born on the mainland, a fact that most second children on the island will recount with glee.
