Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair

Hey guys! How’s it going?🙂.

I’m happy to try this Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair, I know, that’s a mouthful 😄. 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. Stiùireadair, is the first Bunnahabhain Limited Edition to pay homage to the Bunnahabhain Helmsman, who adorns every bottle. Nice marketing 😄.

The whisky was made from selected first and second fill sherry casks with spirit of varying ages, it also shares some of the characteristics of the regular 12yo 👌🏻.

This is a very nice addition to the line of limited edition Bunnahabhain 🥃.

Here is my review:

Nose: Dried fruit, caramel, vanilla fudge, musty oak, hints of brine and spice.

Palate: Watery sherry notes, sea salt, gives the feeling of a young whisky. Nutty and spicy.

Finish: Medium, dry, with sherry notes and a bit salty.

This is a very atypical Bunnahabhain, I suspect the die hard fans will not like this a lot. For me, I think it’s pretty good stuff 🙂🥃.

What do you guys think about this one? Have you tried it?🙂 .
Cheers and have a great week guys!🙂🥃✨🥃.

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
