Bunnahabhain 40 YO

The multi-award winning Bunnahabhain is the flagship malt whisky from Burn Stewart Distillers. Bunnahabhain is exported to over 30 countries around the world.

Bunnahabhain recently announced it will release a one-off rare single malt that discovered after four decades later in its Islay distillery, located on the north-east of Scotland.

The company’s distillery plans to release only 750 bottles. Each bottle will be hand signed and individually numbered.

Master Distiller, Ian MacMillan, discovered the casks of the rare whisky quietly matured were listed in the ledgers of the distillery.

The ‘Turney’ whisky casks were initially filled with the precious Bunnahabhain malt over 40 years ago by eminent Glasgow wine merchants, J G Turney.

Ian MacMillan, was quoted, “It was an exhilarating moment to stumble on such a special find. There
are very few 40 year old Islays and unlike any other, Bunnahabhain’s taste is considered unique because the distillery does not heavily peat the fine malted barley.”

Bunnahabhain 40 YO
RRP: £1,999
Unchill-filtered (41.7% ABV)

This great tasting malt whisky makes the perfect addition to any party or social gathering. Also make it a holiday gift for that special person in your life. He or she won’t be disappointed.

Emma Stone, born Emily Jean Stone on November 6, 1988, was a member of the Valley Youth Theater, making her first stage debut as a child actor in “The Wind in the Willows”.

At the age of 15, she decided to make acting her career, but first she had to convince her parents. As the story goes, she made a PowerPoint presentation entitled “Project Hollywood” set to a Madonna song in an attempt to persuade her parents to allow her to drop out of school and move to Los Angeles. Her parents agreed, and in January 2004, she and her mother moved to a Los Angeles apartment where she was home schooled so that she could spend her days auditioning.

She landed a number of small TV roles with her big TV breakthrough being when she won a part on the talent/reality show “In Search of the Partridge Family.”

Her movie debut in “Superbad” in 2007, followed by a number of successful performances, landed her a leading role in “Easy A” in 2010 establishing her as a star.

After registering for the Screen Actors Guild, Stone chose the name “Emma” a nickname her mother had given her, because there was already a listing for an “Emily Stone”. She first chose Riley Stone as her professional name, but decided she was more comfortable with Emma after doing a guest appearance on “Malcolm in the Middle.” Her family and friends call her Emily.

Other Hollywood movies Emma Stone has played in are “The Help”, “Crazy, Stupid, Love”, “The House Bunny”, “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”,”Paper Man” and “Marmaduke”.
