Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair
Stiùireadair means Helmsman in Scots Gaelic and relates back to Bunnahabhain's heritage. Being surrounded by the sea, the Bunnahabhain pier was once a spot where the Helmsman would return back too. This whisky has been matured in both first fill and second fill Sherry casks which has been matured in different warehouses surrounding the distillery to ensure maximum coastal flavour.
