Stiùireadair (pronounced ‘stew-rahdur’) and meaning Helmsman in Scots Gaelic, is the first Bunnahabhain Limited Edition to pay homage to the Bunnahabhain Helmsman, who adorns every bottle. But the Helmsman is no mere icon, he is a reminder of Bunnahabhin’s origins, and links to the past, and a symbol of the enduring appreciation of the sea by which Islay is surrounded. To create Stiùireadair, Bunnahabhain’s Senior Blender 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.
