- Description
- Bruichladdich's 1968 vintage, bottled after 35 years in 100% bourbon hogsheads, represents the distillery's legendary Legacy series at its most successful. The extended maturation in ex-bourbon wood created a classic, refined expression of older Islay whisky—balanced, complex, and deeply matured. Essential for collectors of historic Bruichladdich and pre-closure Islay stock.
