- Description
- Drawn directly from a refill sherry hogshead and hand-bottled at the distillery, this 1989 Bruichladdich represents Islay's unpeated character enriched by deep sherry influence. Released as part of the distillery's reawakening in the early 2000s, it's a contemplative expression from a pivotal moment in the distillery's history.
