- Description
- A rare 1990s bottling produced for the French market, this 15-year-old Bruichladdich carries light peat—a departure from the distillery's modern unpeated expression. The combination of modest smoke, island minerality, and subtle fruit complexity reflects Islay character in restrained form. A historically interesting bottle for those tracing the distillery's stylistic evolution.
