Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair Single Malt Scotch
Meaning "Helmsman" in Scots Gaelic, Stiùireadair, is the first Bunnahabhain release to pay homage to the Bunnahabhain Helmsman who adorns every bottle. But this Helmsman is no mere icon, he is a reminder of the Bunnahabhain origins, a link to the past, and a symbol of enduring appreciation of the sea by which everyone is surrounded.
To create Stiùireadair, Bunnahabhain's 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 sherry influence everyone knows and loves in the famous 12 year old.
