Bunnahabhain Distillery crafts Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair Single Malt Scotch Whisky on the remote northeastern coast of Islay. The distillery names this bottling Stiùireadair (pronounced stew-rah-dur), meaning “Helmsman” in Gaelic, to honor the coastal master blenders. Distillers age the spirit in first and second-fill sherry casks in shoreline warehouses to achieve a sea-influenced flavor profile.
