• Exposing the coastal nature of Bunnahabhain, this whisky was matured in first and second fill sherry casks in our warehouses by the Sound of Islay
• A creamy mouth feel with a dried fruit influence and notes of sea salt, creamy caramel and hints of nuts and gentle spice .
• The perfect whisky gift for island whisky lovers. Unusually for an Islay single malt, Stiùireadair is unpeated, allowing the sweet coastal character of our island to shine through.
• An award-winning whisky - recently received the accolade of the gold medal at the 2021 Scotch Whisky Masters.
• ‎46.3 Percent by Volume

To create Stiùireadair, our Blender selects 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 our Islay single malt whisky. With a brackish, coastal tinge, this sherried malt will transport you to Bunnahabhain bay, with a smattering of sea spray and dried fruit lingering on your lips. On the nose, dive deep into this Islay malt with notes of dried fruit and creamy caramel with hints of brine, vanilla, nuts and a touch of spice. On the palate, expect a creamy mouth feel with a dried fruit influence, sea salt, creamy caramel with hints of nuts and a gentle spice. The finish is long and lingering with hints of dried fruit.

As the most northerly of the Islay distilleries, situated on the north-eastern tip of the island and overlooking the Sound of Islay, we have a strong affinity with the sea. So please join me in raising a glass to the ancient mariners who helped launch our distillery.

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 Stiùireadair. 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 chillfiltering so you can enjoy its full flavour as nature intended.
