BUNNAHABHAIN Stiuireadair Islay Single Malt Whiskey
Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair – Unpeated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair is a single malt Scotch whisky produced on the island of Islay, Scotland. Its Gaelic name means “helmsman” and pays tribute to the maritime heritage represented by the sailor on the distillery’s bottles. Unlike heavily peated whiskies often associated with Islay, Stiùireadair is unpeated, focusing instead on sherry-cask richness and subtle coastal character.
Bottled at 46.3% ABV, it is created from a selection of first-fill and second-fill sherry casks, together with refill casks chosen from different ages and warehouse locations. The nose reveals dried fruit and creamy caramel, accompanied by hints of brine, vanilla, nuts and gentle spice.
On the palate, the texture is creamy and rounded. Dried fruit, caramel and sea salt combine with nutty notes and a delicate spicy touch. The finish is long and lingering, with dried fruit remaining on the palate.
Stiùireadair is non-chill-filtered and contains no added colouring. It can be enjoyed neat to explore its full aromatic profile, or with a few drops of water according to personal preference.
Presented in a 70 cl bottle, this whisky is well suited to drinkers who enjoy sherried single malts with a maritime edge, rather than the strong peat smoke found in some other Islay expressions.

Description
Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair – Sherry Richness and Coastal Character
Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair is a single malt Scotch whisky made on the island of Islay, Scotland. Its name means “helmsman” in Scots Gaelic and reflects the distillery’s maritime heritage. While Islay is often associated with smoky, peated whiskies, Bunnahabhain is known for its unpeated style. Stiùireadair brings together this gentle malt character, the richness of sherry casks and a subtle coastal influence.
Bottled at 46.3% ABV, the whisky is created from a selection of first-fill and second-fill sherry casks, together with refill casks from different ages and warehouse locations. This selection helps balance the sweetness of sherry maturation with the salty character associated with Bunnahabhain’s coastal setting.
Tasting notes
The nose reveals dried fruit and creamy caramel, supported by hints of brine, vanilla, nuts and a touch of spice. On the palate, the texture is creamy and rounded. Dried fruit and caramel are joined by sea salt, nutty notes and gentle spice. The finish is long and lingering, with dried fruit continuing to develop.
This flavour profile offers an alternative to heavily peated Islay whiskies. Rather than relying on smoke, Stiùireadair focuses on the interaction between sherry casks, creamy sweetness, dried fruit and maritime notes. The result is a rich but balanced single malt that can appeal to drinkers who enjoy both sherried whisky and coastal character.
Serving suggestions
Enjoy it neat in a suitable whisky glass to explore the aromas at your own pace. A few drops of water may reveal different nuances, depending on personal taste. The distillery states that Stiùireadair is non-chill-filtered and contains no added colouring. No age statement is specified for this expression.
Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair is a distinctive choice for those looking for an unpeated Islay single malt with a creamy texture, dried-fruit richness and a lingering saline finish.
