Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair Scotch Whisky 750mL is a rich Islay single malt Scotch whisky named after the Gaelic word Stiùireadair, meaning “helmsman.” Inspired by the maritime heritage of the Bunnahabhain Distillery, this expression is matured primarily in first and second fill sherry casks, creating a whisky with bold sweetness, depth, and subtle coastal character.

Full bodied and flavorful, it opens with aromas of dried fruit, caramel, and toasted oak, followed by notes of dark chocolate, raisins, roasted nuts, and gentle spice. The heavy sherry cask influence provides richness and complexity while maintaining the signature smoothness of Bunnahabhain, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering sweetness and oak spice. It is an excellent choice for fans of sherry influenced single malt Scotch.
