Bruichladdich embraces its Islay legacy with two new rare single malt expressions
Bruichladdich had been built on the stories that shaped the remote Isle of Islay. The Scottish distillery honors its heritage all the while embracing modern techniques to create more dynamic expressions.
Celebrating the rarity of their single malt whiskies, the Victorian distillery recently unveiled two new spirits in the Bruichladdich Thirty and Bruichladdich Eighteen. These spirits complete the brand’s new range of aged high-provenance statement whiskies that expresses the natural environment and flavours that define Islay maturation.
The Bruichladdich Thirty, in particular, is an homage to the distillery’s history, from its near-end legacy in the late-20th century to its reopening in 2001.
Aged for three decades in specially selected casks, Thirty is a rare and exquisite drink that captivates from the first sip. Its full flavor profile is characterised by notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak, honey and soft vanilla. The blend is a testament to the time and care invested in its creation.
On the other hand, the Bruichladdich’s Eighteen Single Malt Whisky is matured for a minimum of eighteen years in oak casks, exuding a certain technical sophistication and complexity.
With its delicate balance of fruity notes, subtle hints of oak and a whisper of peat smoke, Eighteen is a whisky that rewards the most discerning palates with layers of flavor and depth. Of all things, the expression is crafted from a combination of locally grown Islay, organic and Scottish Mainland barley, which evokes the spirit of the Bruichladdich way.
Each step of the production journey is meticulously overseen by skilled artisans. The combination of traditional methods with cutting-edge technology craftsmanship ensures that each Bruichladdich bottle is a true work of art.
Complementing its longstanding techniques is its renewed focus on sustainability. Bespoke propriety bottles are enclosed in a fully recycled outer wrap. The said wrap, meanwhile, is moulded perfectly to suit the casing and the maker’s aesthetic cues, reducing the distillery’s carbon dioxide impact.
