Bunnahabhain - Stiureadair - Sherry Cask - 46.3%
Bunnahabhain Distillery is located on the island of Islay (pronounced "Ayla") in Scotland . Its history dates back to 1881 when William Robertson co-founded the distillery with William and James Greenlees . In 1883, the distillery's whiskey production was in full swing and then, in 1963, the growing popularity of Scotch whiskeys led to the doubling of its stills. The early 1980s saw a downturn in the whiskey market and the distillery was shut down in 1982, but production quickly resumed two years later. In the years that followed, Bunnahabhain passed through several different owners before being acquired by the Distell Group in 2013. The process of making Bunnahabhain whiskey begins with malted and lightly peated barley which is combined with "Margadale" spring water heated in the tank to produce the must. The must fermentation then takes place in Oregon pine vats . None of the Single Malt Scotch whiskeys produced by Bunnahabhain are chill filtered. Unlike most Islay whiskeys, Bunnahabhain whiskeys are not heavily peated or smoked.
Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair (Gaelic for 'Headmaster' pronounced 'Stew-rahdur') is a blend of first and second fill Sherry casks, with different age counts and varying locations in the warehouse.
