Built in 1881 by William Robertson and brothers James and William Greenless, Bunnahabhain is the most northerly distillery on Islay and means 'mouth of the river' in Gaelic. In 2003, Bunnahabhain was bought by Burn Stewart distillers and has been operated by them since. They also own Tobermory and Deanston distilleries.
Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair

Stiùireadair (pronounced ‘stew-rahdur’ and means ‘helmsman’ in Scots Gaelic) is the latest member of the Bunnahabhain crew. With a brackish, coastal tinge, this sherried malt will transport you to Bunnahabhain bay, with a smattering of sea spray and dried fruit lingering on your lips.
First and second fill sherry casks with spirit of varying ages and warehouse locations to construct a dram that truly exposes the coastal nature of the Bunnahabhain single malt whisky, whilst not losing the sherry influence everyone knows and loves in the famous 12 year old.
Nose: Dried fruit and creamy caramel with hints of brine, vanilla, nuts and a touch of spice.
Palate: Creamy mouth feel with a dried fruit influence, sea salt, creamy caramel with hints of nuts and a gentle spice.
Finish: Long and lingering with hints of dried fruit.
