Descripción

Bunnahabhain Distillery, located on the picturesque coast of the Isle of Islay, was founded in 1881 and is known for its unique, unpeated whiskies. The distillery originally relied on the sea trade and experienced a turning point in 1960 with the construction of a new road that improved logistics. After a brief closure in the 1930s and the last ship arrival in 1993, the road became the main supply route. In 2006, after the takeover by Burn Stewart Distillers, the brand profile was given a modern makeover. The water for the whiskies comes from chalky springs and is piped to the distillery without contact with peat, which gives the whiskies their mild, characteristic taste.

Bunnahabhain STIÙIREADAIR is an excellent single malt and an ideal entry-level bottling from the renowned Bunnahabhain distillery. The name, Gaelic for «helmsman», reflects the journey and discovery that this whisky embodies. Although it has no age statement, the STIÙIREADAIR matured in carefully selected first fill and second fill sherry casks, which give it rich flavors and an appealing complexity.
