- Description
- Bruichladdich's 1991 distillate, aged 14 years and finished in Rioja wine casks, captures the distillery's unpeated Islay character with an unusual elegance. The wine cask influence brings red fruit, spice, and subtle oak to the forefront, while the spirit's inherent maritime minerality and cereal sweetness provide backbone. Medium-bodied with a warming, dry finish that lingers with wine-soaked oak. A curious and rewarding dram for those seeking something beyond the distillery's peated reputation.
