Expert Review

7.5/10

'Stiùireadair' means 'helmsman' in Gaelic. Entry-level Bunnahabhain showcasing the distillery's unpeated, coastal character. First-fill and refill sherry casks. Non-chill filtered, natural colour, 46.3%. Excellent value sherried malt — a popular 'house whisky' for many under £40.
