Bruichladdich 12 Year Old 1st Edition

A long discontinued bottling of the 12 year old. A vatting of Spanish and American oak casks. Bruichladdich Bruichladdich Distillery was established in 1881 on the Rhinns peninsular on the island of Islay close by the sandy bays of Loch Indaal. Re-opened in 2001 with much of the original Victorian equipment restored to working order. The first release of Bruichladdich’s new whisky was the highly acclaimed PC5, the first release in the limited Port Charlotte range. Also producing very highly peated Octamore, Organic using Islay grown barley, and triple and quadruple distilled single malts. The Bruichladdich distillery visitor centre offers distillery tours including the bottling hall and the distillery participates in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Whisky Festival. Sweet oak flavours burst onto the palate, confident in their quality, strong and flavoursome, flooding the palate with Islay character andwarmth. You have to wait just a little for the richness and fruitiness to emerge. Look for lip-smacking black cherries towards the finish.
