Bunnahabhain - Stiuireadair

Bunnahabhain Distillery, Single Malt Scotch, 750ml, 46.3% abv

Non-chill filtered, natural color

We’re huge fans of this distillery — the rare Islay distillery known more for its unseated whiskies than its (much less frequent) Peated releases. This non-age-statement core range expression is focused on sherry cask maturation.

From the distillery: “Meaning Helmsman in Scots Gaelic, Stiùireadair, is the first Bunnahabhain release to pay homage to the Bunnahabhain Helmsman, who adorns every bottle. But our Helmsman is no mere icon, he is a reminder of our origins, a link to our past, and a symbol of our enduring appreciation of the sea by which we are surrounded.

To create Stiùireadair, our Master Blender has selected first and second fill sherry casks with spirit of varying ages and warehouse locations to construct a dram that truly exposes the coastal nature of the Bunnahabhain single malt whisky, whilst not losing the classic sherry influence everyone knows and loves in our famous 12 Year Old.”
