This Cooper's Choice Golden Cut expression is drawn from Bunnahabhain Distillery, established in 1881 on the north-east coast of Islay. Bunnahabhain is unusual among Islay distilleries for its predominantly unpeated character — drawing water from the Margadale spring — though peated releases also appear in the range. The 'Bonfires and Blackberries' name suggests a cask that has introduced rich, dark fruit and a hint of smoke to the spirit's characteristic dried fruit and maritime character. Independently bottled by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company as part of The Golden Cut series at 50% ABV — a strength selected to present the spirit at full flavour weight without chill-filtration.

Cooper's Choice is the flagship range of The Vintage Malt Whisky Company Limited, an independent bottler based in Milngavie, near Glasgow, Scotland, established in the early 1990s. The company selects single casks from Scotland's finest distilleries, bottling each expression as a true representation of its cask and distillery character. The name pays homage to the cooper — the barrel-maker — whose craft shapes the character of every whisky. The Golden Cut is a sub-range within Cooper's Choice, bottled at 50% ABV and representing selected single casks and blended malts designed to showcase the rich, concentrated character that emerges at that strength, across a range of Scottish regions and distilleries.
