- Description
- Part of Bruichladdich's First Growth series, this 16-year-old finished in Château Lafleur Pomerol casks (Cuvée F) blends Islay's maritime character with the deep plum and earthy textures of top-tier Bordeaux. The Pomerol finish adds velvet tannins and wine-forward fruit depth while maintaining the whisky's fundamental mineral spine. A sophisticated expression for those drawn to wine-cask finishing with discipline and balance.
