- Description
- This late-1990s release of Bruichladdich 10 Year Old captures the Islay distillery during a formative period, before the modern era of heavily peated experimentation. The whisky would have matured in the distillery's ex-bourbon regimen, bringing classic Islay character—coastal brine, gentle peat, and orchard fruit—to a relatively light frame. A piece of Bruichladdich history that rewards collectors of the distillery's older bottlings.
