As the most northerly of the Islay distilleries,situated on the north-eastern tip of the island and overlooking the Sound of Islay,we have a strong affinity with the sea.So please join me in raising a glass to the ancient mariners who helped launch our distillery.
As any sailor will tell you,making the right decisions and battling the elements is part of getting where you want to be.Building our distillery in such a remote location wasn't the easy choice,but it was the right one.Chosen for its gentle costal climate,abundance of clear spring water and natural harbour,the mouth of the river-or Bunnahabhain -became home to a unique,unpeated Islay whisky.Making the right choices is also pivotal in Stiuireadair.Our blender has spent a lot of time carefully selecting casks with spirit of varying ages from the corners of our shore side warehouses to create this distinctive dram,with its rich characterful heart,typical of Bunnahabhain,thanks to the hig proportion of sherry casks we use.And we avoid chillfiltering so you can enjoy its full flavour as nature intended.
