- Description
- This 1984 vintage from Bruichladdich's final 'Still' series was aged in unusual 'dumpy' bourbon hogsheads, experimental cask vessels from 1980s American cooperages. The 23-year maturation delivered a whisky shaped by this distinctive wood influence, contributing to the bottling's unique character within the Bruichladdich canon. A technical curiosity for those interested in cask experimentation.
