The elegance and fruit of bruichladdich spirit marries well with bourbon casks. indeed a marriage, if not made in heaven,made on islay - as the legendary 1970 bottling has shown.
A rare limited edition, unique in that the classic 1984 spirit was matured in unusual, hand-made squat American Bourbon hogsheads – experimental "dumpy" casks that American coopers flirted with briefly in the eighties. This extra wood contact has produced a spirit reminiscent of an older style of whisky, an alluring and haunting barley sugar character of a bygone age. Bottled at a cask strength of 52%.
