- Bruichladdich's 12-year-old from 2009, matured in first-fill Amarone red wine cask and bottled at natural cask strength of 60.4% ABV, brings Italian wine richness to this Islay distillery's characterful spirit. The Amarone finishing adds dark berry, dried cherry, and warming spice notes that complement Bruichladdich's coastal minerality and subtle peat. This single cask of 2021 showcases how wine-cask maturation can transform Islay character into something unexpected and layered. A bold choice for collectors fascinated by unconventional cask finishes and Bruichladdich's experimental approach.
