Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair

Stiuireadair (pronounced stew-rah-dur) is a tribute to the sea and its influence on our distillery and the whisky we distil. Our blender has carefully selected casks with spirit of varying ages from our shore side distillery warehouses, to create this distinctive dram, with its rich characterful heart, typical of Bunnahabhain. As any sailor will tell you, making the right decisions and battling the elements is part of getting where you want to be. Building our distillery in such a remote location wasn't the easy choice, but it was the right one. Chosen for its gentle coastal climate, abundance of clear spring water and natural harbour, the mouth of the river, or Bunnahabhain, became home to a unique, unpeated Islay whisky. Making the right choices is also pivotal in Stiuireadair. Our blender has spent a lot of time carefully selecting casks with spirit of varying ages from the corners of our shore-side warehouses to create this distinctive dram, with its rich, characterful heart, typical of Bunnahabhain, thanks to the high proportion of sherry casks we use. And we avoid chilfiltering so you can enjoy its full flavour as nature intended. Tasting notes: Colour: amber gold Nose: dried fruit, caramel and sweet vanilla. Palate: creamy and smooth with hints of nuts, gentle spice and coastal sea salt. Finish: long and lingering with hints of rich, dried fruit.
