Since its introduction in 2012, the limited edition Black Art series of whisky is said to "intrigue" whisky fans around the world with its "mysterious allure"... The series is the antithesis of Bruichladdich's traditional commitment to total transparency. Instead of revealing all the details of production, from cask type to specific barley variety, as is customary at Bruichladdich, Black Art is created in total secrecy - only the vintage is revealed.

Only chief distiller Adam Hannett knows the recipe for Black Art 10, explaining: "As a whisky brand committed to giving our customers as much information as possible, our Black Art series is a real leap of faith."

The untasted 29-year-old single malt, a 1993 vintage, was made with pre-renaissance casks from the Bruichladdich distillery that have been maturing exclusively on Islay for almost three decades.
