Product Description

Stiuireadair (Gaelic meaning: Helmsman) Men like the Helmsman provided Bunnahabhain with a lifeline to the mainland. A complex malt with a rich Sherry influence and aromas of fruit, nuts and spice. Striuireadair (pronouced strew-rahdur) is a tribute to the sea and its influence on our distillery and the whisky we distil. Our blender has carefully selected casks with spirit of varying ages from our shoreside distillery warehouses, to create this distinctive dram, with its rich characterful heart, typical of Bunnahabhain. "Matured in Sherry casks, Stiuireadair has scents of dried fruit, caramel and vanilla with a nutty, creamy and long fruity finish." -- Andrew Brown, Distillery Manager Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Silver · 2023
Sweet farmyard smoke on the nose leads to a complex earthy palate of cloves, linseed oil, toasted oak and red berries. Creamy texture with a nice lift on the finish.

Silver2022iwsc.net ↗
Clean and crisp with a good spirit note, cask influence and a hint of orange blossom. Sour candy, apples, tropical fruit and earth showing throughout. Lengthy with spice.
Silver2021iwsc.net ↗
Herbaceous and grassy with gorse flowers and sandalwood. Aromatic and creamy with toffee apple, pear and honey and a drying, sweet oak finish.
Silver2020iwsc.net ↗
A clean, focused fruit palate with oranges, apples and a touch of green pepper. A bright character with fresh cereal, soft spice and toasted oak notes. A dry flavoursome finish.
Whisky Advocate · Gavin Smith · 2019
Raisins, fruit spice, furniture polish, and roasted nuts on the nose, along with an edge of brine. Rich and full-bodied in the mouth, with malt, sweet sherry, and cotton candy, plus cloves and a sprinkling of sea salt.

Distiller · Amanda Schuster
Rich flavors of milk chocolate and toffee (Heath bars) mix with sweet, dried dates, prunes, and figs … but that's about as earthy as this big candy bar of a whisky gets.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
