- Description
- Bruichladdich's restrained, unpeated Islay character was drawn from a refill sherry hogshead filled in July 2002 and bottled at cask strength in January 2019 without chill-filtration or added colour, yielding a 16-year-old of natural complexity. Maturation in refill sherry cask preserves the distillery's coastal minerality while adding subtle dried-fruit notes. An ideal choice for those seeking Islay character beyond smoke and peat.
