Process & Profile
Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair (pronounced “stew-rahdur,” meaning “helmsman” in Scots Gaelic) is a tribute to the coastal spirit of the Bunnahabhain distillery. Crafted using whiskies aged in a combination of first and second fill sherry casks, it offers the brand’s signature unpeated Islay character with a distinct maritime influence. Bottled non-chill filtered and at a higher ABV, it showcases the bold, natural flavors of the whisky.
