Bunnahabhain Single Malt Scotch Stiuireadair

Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair (pronounced stew-rahdur, meaning “helmsman” in Scots Gaelic) is a sherried, unpeated single malt that reflects the coastal character of Islay with a soft, approachable profile. It’s matured in a combination of first and second-fill sherry casks, bringing depth and richness without overwhelming peat smoke.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Warm and inviting with sea spray, dried fruit, caramelized nuts, and a touch of baking spice.

• Palate: Creamy and well-rounded, offering notes of toffee, sultanas, roasted hazelnuts, and spiced oak, layered with a gentle maritime salinity.

• Finish: Smooth and slightly dry, with lingering hints of sherry sweetness, brine, and soft spice.

Stiùireadair is a great introduction to Bunnahabhain’s sherried, unpeated style—rich, coastal, and characterful.
